Two days of strike action for nurses remain on the cards for next month after the latest round of pay negotiations with District Health Boards failed today.

Twenty-four-hour strikes are planned for July 5 and 12 after nurses rejected the largest pay offer in more than a decade on June 18.

DHBs are working on contingency plans to ensure emergency and essential services are available if the strikes go ahead.
