NEW: Nearly 2,000 staff were absent from work yesterday during the #NursesStrike across eight mental health trusts, according to NHS figures out this pm
Large mental health & community trust @Mersey_Care had most staff off overall with 644 absent due to strikes.
That figure also represents 21.7% of the trust's total number of qualified nursing full time equivalent staff (approx: 2,964 as of Sept 2022)

However, important to note the above % is a rough barometer of impact
Not all of the above would have been on shift, not all nurses will belong to RCN and membership varies by trust, plus, there may be some non-registered RCN members among those absent

There were also 250 elective operations "rescheduled" at @uhbtrust during #NursesStrike and 534 outpatient appointments - second highest of striking trusts (Royal Devon had most)
Figures for other 2 #WestMids trusts submitting data (none from @RJAH_NHS):
@WorcsAcuteNHS 966 outpatients, 147 ops
@BWC_NHS 450 outpatients, 36 ops
