Health secretary Steve Barclay has written to the head of the Royal College of Nursing urging her to change proposed strike dates to avoid a court battle.
RCN general secretary Pat Cullen told union members she believes the Government could successfully stop strike action taking place on 2 May."regretfully" applying to the High Court to declare the walkout planned for that date unlawful. The health secretary said NHS Employers had contacted him asking to check the legality of the action because the strike mandate runs out on 1 May. Strike action is planned for 30 April and 1 May.
Ms Cullen said in an email to RCN members on Wednesday:"Nursing staff like you will join me outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London to show the Government that we're standing up to its attempts to cut short your lawful strike."If they win, we'll let you know as soon as possible that the strike will end at midnight on Monday 1 May and not the following evening as originally planned.
