Members of the Royal College of Nursing are to go on strike again after they voted against the latest government pay offer.

The result comes despite a recommendation from union leaders that they accept it and means there will be a round-the-clock 48-hour strike - without exemptions - from 8pm on 30 April to 8pm on 2 May.

It comes shortly after members of Unison voted to accept the government's latest pay deal.

For the first time, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) strike will involve staff working in emergency departments, intensive care units, cancer care and other services that were previously exempt from industrial action.
