Nurses across England are taking part in a fresh strike in a dispute over pay and recruitment.
This is the first time some nurses who work in A&E, intensive care and cancer services have joined the picket lines although the union has agreed staff can be called in for some critical areas.
This latest strike comes ahead of a crucial meeting between a number of health unions, ministers and NHS bosses on Tuesday, when the government’s pay offer of 5% will be discussed.
