The NHS nurse staff has decided to go on strike, this is now known as one of the biggest strikes in the history of the NHS. Thousands of NHS staff are on strike and there will also be a walkout that will take place on the 20th of December.
Thousands of NHS nurses all across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland are on the first of two day-long strikes due to being overworked and over the pay.

Chemotherapy and kidney dialysis should run as normal, along with intensive and critical care, children’s accidents, and emergency and hospital neonatal units.
“In the autumn statement we committed an extra £6.6 billion of extra funding to the NHS,” Barclay tells reporters at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
