TL;DR

Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) has been granted exemptions to ease the pressure on its services during the bank holiday nursing strike. The London children's hospital expressed "serious concerns" about staffing as Royal College of Nursing (RCN) members prepare to walk out. During the strike from Sunday to Monday, nurses in the RCN union will not provide emergency care in A&E. The exemption for GOSH means some striking staff could be called in to 11 areas, including intensive care, so that the services provided are deemed safe.
