"We don't do this lightly it is the first time we have gone on strike in 103 years, said Donna Kinnair, general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing. "But I am here because I think it is important that care is delivered to our patients in Northern Ireland." Some 9,000 members of the Royal College of Nursing went on strike and were supported by other healthcare workers. That forced the cancellation of routine appointments and delays to ambulance services. The situation of the nurses has been complicated by the collapse of the power-sharing government in Northern Ireland. Since no government has been in place for nearly three years, there are no ministers in place to make spending decisions such as whether to grant the pay demands of the nurses or use extra cash to reduce Northern Ireland's long waiting lists for treatment.
