The first strike by NHS staff over pay in more than 30 years - and the first by members of the Royal College of Midwives in its history - will hopefully force ministers to rethink their decision to freeze pay rates for 1.3 million health service staff. Those taking part in Monday's four-hour stoppage and this week's 'work-to-rule' deserve great credit for making a sacrifice so that everyone in the NHS may benefit.
