What calls will ambulances answer on strike day?
By Michelle RobertsThousands of ambulance workers, including paramedics and call handlers, are striking in England and Wales on Wednesday over pay.So, if you have an emergency on strike day, what should you do and what care can you expect?If in need, do call. There will still be staff answering emergency calls and sending out some ambulances.
However, conditions which are serious but not judged to be immediately life-threatening - which could include some people who may be having a stroke - might not be immediately attended to by emergency teams. Urgent problems that fit into Category 3 - such as a woman in late-stage labour - will not be prioritised.
"This means continuing to call 999 for life threatening emergencies as well as using 111 online for other health needs where you will receive clinical advice on the best next steps to take.
