More than 800 out-patient appointments rescheduled due to ambulance strike as union cancels post-Christmas action
More than 800 out-patient appointments at hospitals were rescheduled in the north west as a result of Wednesday's strike action by ambulance service workers, published NHS data shows.
The GMB said there was 'incredible' public support during the industrial action taken by its members and members of the Unite and Unison unions on Wednesday. Ms Harrison added: "We are overwhelmed by Wednesday’s amazing public support for our paramedics and ambulance staff. People across the country have been wonderful in backing us and we care so much about them too. That's why we are suspending the proposed GMB industrial action on December 28.
In the north west, 98 'elective procedures' scheduled to take place on the day were rescheduled as a result of the industrial action. A total of 827 out-patient appointments scheduled were also rescheduled because of the strike. GMB chief Ms Harrison added: "The workforce crisis in our NHS is so severe and our commitment to getting ambulance staff the proper pay they deserve is stronger than ever, so we are scheduling a further date for action on January 11 2023. The incredible British public are why we are suspending our action over the Christmas period.
