Monday, 6 February 2023 07:42

A strike today is set to hit the South Central Ambulance Service.

It says the industrial action will mainly affect non-emergency Patient Transport Services, but there may be some action in 999 services.

The ambulance service said 999 and 111 services are very busy at the moment and the planned industrial action will add to that.

Ambulances will be dispatched where clinically appropriate.

There are around 125 RCN members in SCAS in a range of frontline and clinical support roles. Derogations are being agreed nationally with the RCN.
