Tens of thousands of British nurses will go on strike for the first time over demands for better pay, their trade union said, adding to pressure on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during an economic crisis.

Nurses at the majority of state-run National Health Service employers across Britain have voted to strike, the Royal College of Nursing said, in action that threatens major disruption to an already strained health system. The RCN, which has more than 300,000 members, said industrial action would begin before the end of the year following the first ever strike vote in its 106-year-old history.

The RCN’s demands would amount to combined pay rises costing £9 billion which would be “simply not deliverable,” the spokesperson said, adding there were contingency plans in place for any “staff impact.” The strike will come as the NHS faces its worst ever staffing crisis while it is still recovering from the hit to services during the Covid pandemic.
