With fewer ambulances on the roads, the health secretary warns there will 'inevitably' be disruption - but ambulance services say they are determined to ensure urgent calls are answered.
'Unwelcome return to unnecessary disruption'
"While we have contingency plans in place, including support from the military, community first responders and extra call handlers, to mitigate risks to patient safety, there will inevitably be some disruption for patients with fewer ambulances on the road." Ben Holdaway, director of operations at the East Midlands Ambulance Service, said teams have worked to maximise the number of staff, though he anticipated a"much slower" response than usual.
South Central Ambulance Service said the strike will involve 200 workers and will mostly disrupt its non-emergency patient transport services.
