Free hot drinks could be offered to striking nurses instead of better pay in a move dubbed “patronising tea and sympathy”.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay will reportedly offer perks to striking nurses - such as free coffee, breakfasts and parking - in an attempt to show he understands anger over working conditions.
Mr Barclay repeated comments saying his “door is open” to resume talks with the Royal College of Nursing about working conditions but not pay.
