Ambulance cover put in place during recent strikes was not enough to 'ensure patient and public safety', says Health Secretary Steve Barclay
In his letter dated Sunday January 15, Mr Barclay said he accepted that a "certain amount of disruption is inherent to any strike".
"During recent action I have not been reassured that the current system of voluntary arrangements can be relied upon to ensure patient and public safety," the Health Secretary said. Defending the controversial strike bill, Mr Barclay said it would provide the public with "much needed assurance that a certain level of urgent and time critical care will always continue throughout strike action".
The Health Secretary said use of the proposed legislation would only be a "last resort", insisting that it would not hinder employees' right to strike.
