Northern Ireland is stepping closer to a crippling strike by nurses after it emerged the Government wanted to give them a 1% pay rise.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has taken steps to ensure members will be financially compensated if they decide to act over the offer, which would see experienced nurses walking away with an extra £3.50 a week.
It is the latest blow for thousands of nurses left traumatised and exhausted after putting their lives at risk for the last 12 months during the pandemic.
Pat Cullen, director of the RCN in Northern Ireland, described the proposed pay hike as “insulting” and said health bosses were “dangerously out of touch” with nurses and public opinion.

“I’ve been doing a lot, in fact everything I can, to lose weight and to feel fitter and healthier, and what I’ve been doing is I’ve been eating less carbs, avoiding chocolate, no more late night cheese, all that kind of thing. I’ve been getting up early to go for runs, and the result is, you know, I actually have lost some weight, quite a lot by my standards, and I feel much more energetic,” Johnson said in a video as the British government rolled out a program to help residents reach health goals.
