Thirty thousand nurses in the country's public hospitals strike again over a lack of action on pay and conditions.
They walked off the wards in hospitals in June when employment talks with their District Health Board employers broke down.
They've now voted to strike again for 24 hours on 29 July, followed by eight hours on 19 August, and another 24 hours on 9 September.
Health Minister Andrew Little spoke to Susie Ferguson.
