Unions have agreed to postpone the planned strikes by nurses and ambulance workers in Wales next week after the Welsh government made a new pay offer.

The GMB union announced on Friday that it will suspend its strike action in Wales planned for Monday, while the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) cancelled its walkout scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. But the unions’ members in England will go ahead with strikes on the same days.
