Ambulance workers will strike for two more days in January, Unison leaders have announced, pointing to the government’s refusal to pay as the direct cause. The industrial action will be held on January 11 and 23 across five areas in England, and will likely worsen the strain on an already thinly stretched health service.

Services in London, Yorkshire, the North West, North East and South West will take action over pay and staffing.
