Members of the GMB, Unison, and Unite unions will stage a strike across England over a pay dispute
Ambulance workers across the UK are due to go on strike in the run-up to Christmas, likely causing a blow to services.
Another strike will take place on December 28, but will only include those in the GMB union - roughly half of the total number of ambulance staff. Rachel Harrison, GMB National Secretary, said: “After twelve years of Conservative cuts to the service and their pay packets, NHS staff have had enough. Despite this, Downing Street claims that it is not too late for unions to call of the strikes and engage in talks. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We would expect, given this late stage, there to be some sort of disruption either way but it is still in the gift of the unions to step back and reconsider their approach.
He informed members of the public that if they need to call an ambulance on Wednesday, they should do but must be prepared for "impacts on patients". When asked whether ambulances would be available to an elderly person who fell and broke their hip, Mr Barclay said: "The advice is if there is a need to call an ambulance people should continue to do so.
