Court orders nurse strike in England to be cut short
The walkout will affect emergency departments, intensive care, cancer wards and other wards
The judge ordered the RCN to pay the costs of the hearing, saying the union showed "a high degree of unreasonableness".# Ahead of the court hearing the RCN said it would have to accept the judgement as it would "never do anything illegal".After the verdict, Mr Barclay said: "I firmly support the right to take industrial action within the law - but the government could not stand by and let plainly unlawful strike action go ahead.'Patients at risk'
Nurses have already walked out twice this year - on 6 and 7 February and on 18 and 19 January - but on those dates there were exemptions, so nursing cover was maintained in critical areas.The RCN has said it would ballot members for further strike action once its current mandate expires.
