The Royal College of Nursing has announced its members are backing strike action in a row over pay - but the Prime Minister insists their demands are unaffordable.

Industrial action is expected to be held before the end of the year at some of the UK’s biggest hospitals.What do you think about it? Do you back the nurses and other health workers?
