UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Sunday that he is willing to discuss pay rises for nurses.
This is in a bid to end the strikes that have hit the country as since last year.
The strikes, staff shortages, and winter flu have led some hospitals to declare critical incidents.
Also, patients are now facing hours-long waits for ambulances, and some are being treated in corridors.
Sunak said the government is willing to have conversations with union leaders about pay, despite ministers previously refusing to reopen talks about this year’s deal.
“We want to have a reasonable, honest, two-way conversation about pay.
"The door has always been open to talk about the things that nurses want to talk about, and the unions want to talk about more generally", he added.
