Ambulances will go to 'life-threatening' calls during strikes but may not attend falls, Health Secretary Steve Barclay says

as part of coordinated industrial action by the GMB, Unison and Unite unions in a row over pay.

Ambulance workers who are members of Unison will join the strike at five services in England: London, Yorkshire, the North West, North East and South West.Ambulance staff to strike in December The government says it cannot afford such demands, and increasing wages higher than inflation will push prices up further.

Ambulance response times are so pathetic, people probably won’t notice that they’re on strike!

When does the GP strike end please?

Thanks to this Govt you can wait hours for an ambulance anyway so for Sunak and Co to start acting like they care is a bit rich

unitetheunion unisontheunion have you seen what this lying Tory is spreading

Once they start making all these caveats the strike becomes muuuuch less effective

Tax wealth, bring in a financial services transaction tax, set limits on CEO pay as a ratio to lowest paid worker, squeeze large company profits, raise taxes on dividends AND PAY DOCTORS AND NURSES A FAIR WAGE!!!!!!!!

Absolutely no idea what qualifies someone to deploy an ambulance, but I am fairly sure being a trade Union leader doesn’t.

When will this muppet realise people vote for strike as last resort. They’ll lose money & get loads of grief from everyone yet knowing this they act to strike. He’s getting his food subsidised in parliament while workers from broad spectrum of society can’t feed themselves 😡😡

☺️ seems stupid not to pay these sectors the money they are entitled to where will we be without them are politicians stupid or just scheming against us to have fun on celebrity get me out of here 🤔 urgh

No mention of his annual inflation busting pay rise, Subsidised meals, Expenses, Home heating bills paid ..Disgusting parasite. Meanwhile they deride workers for wanting avfair day's pay .High time him and his cohorts were booted out .

Pay the workers and stop stealing taxes from the working class to give to your rich mates

Hey Steve are you organizing a clap for front line staff? Or was that just a gimmick while your mates trousered millions in PPEscandal ? Asking for a nation pissed off of being gaslighted by the ToryCorruption

Another waste of space health secretary.

And what is he doing to resolve the issues? NOTHING! problem is, they (tories) have created the issues, spanked all the money and now have no idea how to correct all the mistakes.

That's what a strike is. Instead of blaming workers, we should hold the Govt responsible for under resourcing the ambulance service to the point that people have died from delays.

SteveBarclay wesstreeting campbellclaret PeterStefanovi2 Steve Barclay says elderly people won't be able to get an ambulance if the fall during strike action. Hasn't he realised that you can't get an ambulance on non-strike days because off this corrupt government.

But really what we want to know is what Putin told you to do….
