Pat Cullen, RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive, responding to government ‘letter before action’ and threat of interim court order to stop entire 48-hour nurse strike, said:
“This is nakedly political. Nurses will not be gagged in this way by a bullying government.
“We are clear that court arguments should only relate to 2nd May and not the 30th April and 1st May.
“The government is now desperate to silence nurses rather than address this properly. We want to be in the negotiating room, not the courtroom.”
