Ambulance staff across most of England and Wales will go on strike

on 21 December in a dispute over pay.

The impact of the walkout will be patchy as Unison, which has twice the numbers of the other two unions combined, only has a strike mandate for half of England's 10 regional services. The full extent of the cover striking staff will provide has yet to be decided - detailed negotiations will take place between local ambulance bosses and unions ahead of the walkout.

"Ambulance staff and their health colleagues don't want to inconvenience anyone. But ministers are refusing to do the one thing that could prevent disruption - that's start genuine talks about pay.
