Ambulance strike causing deep worry, say NHS bosses
BBC News says Patient safety cannot be guaranteed during today’s strike by ambulance workers in England and Wales, health bosses have warned.
But NHS England says emergency care will continue to be provided.
People are being asked to use services “wisely” and only call 999 in a life-threatening emergency – with 111 online the first port of call.
Ambulance response times are already twice as long as two years ago and there is a huge strain on A&Es.
