Great Ormond Street declares 'incident' over staffing levels

Great Ormond Street Hospital has declared a "business continuity incident" ahead of planned nurses' strikes this weekend.

It says it has "serious concerns" over staffing during the walkouts by members of the Royal College of Nursing on Sunday and Monday.

The declaration means special arrangements will need to be implemented, until services return to what's considered an acceptable level.
