NHS workers strike over pay
Royal College of Midwives members took part in their first ever strike today, as thousands of NHS workers took industrial action over pay.
Workers on strike protest outside Nottingham City hospital
Demonstrations are taking place at Nottingham City hospital as health workers across the country go on strike.
The Royal College of Midwives are taking part in industrial action for the first time in 133 years, along with members of UNISON, Unite and GMB in a four-hour stoppage from 7am until 11am.
It's after a dispute with the Government over pay after it was announced in March that only NHS staff at the top of their pay band would receive a 1% increase.
