Royal College of Nursing responds to talks with the health secretary today

Press Release 09/01/2023

Responding to the talks with the Health Secretary today, RCN Director of Employment Relations and Legal Services, Joanne Galbraith-Marten, said:

“There is no resolution to our dispute yet in sight. Today’s meeting was bitterly disappointing – nothing for the current year and repeating that ‘the budget is already set’ for next year.

“This intransigence is letting patients down. Ministers have a distance to travel to avert next week’s nurse strike.”
