THOUSANDS of ambulance workers will go on strike AGAIN next Friday. <\/p>\n

On February 10, members of Unison across London, Yorkshire, the South West, North East and North West emergency services will stage a walk out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ambulance workers are in a major dispute with health ministers over pay.<\/p>\n

Union chiefs want an inflation busting salary hike for their members.<\/p>\n

But the government says this isn't affordable and would risk fanning the flames of inflation.<\/p>\n

Unison Head of Health Sara Gorton said: "Ministers must stop fobbing the public off with promises of a better NHS, while not lifting a finger to solve the staffing emergency staring them in the face.<\/p>\n

"The Government must stop playing games. Rishi Sunak wants the public to believe ministers are doing all they can to resolve the dispute. They're not.<\/p>\n

"There are no pay talks, and the Prime Minister must stop trying to hoodwink the public. It's time for some honesty. Ministers are doing precisely nothing to end the dispute."<\/p>\n

As well as next Friday, ambulance workers who are members of other unions – GMB and Unite – will strike on nine other days throughout February and March. <\/p>\n

They are: February 6, 16, 17, 20, 23, 24, 26 and March 6 and 20. <\/p>\n

What to do in an emergency on strike days<\/h2>\n

In the event of an emergency you should call 999 or visit your nearest A&E department, however strike action might mean you are delayed or are unable to get the usual level of care you might need.<\/p>\n

Health Secretary Steve Barclay has urged Brits to 'use their common sense' when it comes to calling out emergency services.<\/p>\n

Guidance from the NHS states patients should only call 999 if seriously ill or injured, and there is risk to life.<\/p>\n

Ambulances will still be dispatched where clinically appropriate.<\/p>\n

Category 1 calls are for the most life-threatening emergencies, such as\u00a0cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n

Category 2 incidents, cover conditions such as\u00a0strokes\u00a0or\u00a0chest pain.<\/p>\n

Category 3 calls include people who have severe\u00a0abdominal pain, have suffered a fall, or patients who can be treated in their own homes.<\/p>\n

This group is unlikely to be sent an ambulance during strike action, with patient transport services prioritising those with\u00a0cancer\u00a0and palliative care appointments.<\/p>\n

Guidance also states that the NHS will use taxis to transport less critically ill people to and from hospital where clinically appropriate.<\/p>\n
