Pretty soon it’s gonna be quicker to list those not on strike than those on or balloting for strike.
Forget Just Stop Oil. The real threat to your health and your ability to get an ambulance has always been Tory Party cuts.
Junior doctors, consultants and nurses are also in the process of considering industrial action. If you put paramedics into the equation, they can completely stop the NHS from functioning (largely because they **are** the NHS).
The government are going to need to think very carefully about their next steps.
Not the right time for this.
Community care is understaffed and backed up, so the wards are full and can’t move patients. Wards are understaffed and backed up, so A&E is full and can’t move patients. A&E is understaffed and backed up, so ambulances are full and can’t move patients.
If the ambulances are already full, they can’t pick up new patients anyway. Nobody will know they’re on strike.
I support them, don’t get me wrong. I just think it’s not really an effective measure right now.
Edit: Fuck, everyone hated this. I meant that striking when ambulances were actually available (thereby making them unavailable through strike action) would be more effective. Again, I understand why they’re doing it and support them. Sorry if that didn’t come through.
Well that is one way to sort out the shortage of beds issue
Hard to blame them shame this needs to happen the NHS should be priority and get all the funding it needs
Where did the funding to the NHS go Bojo you toffee nosed cunt
Well my ballot is in, roll on the threat of strike. But at least I’m not front line ambulance, I’m just pts
This and a Dr or Nurse strike will be devastating. There’s a ticking timebomb just waiting to go off
I hope every one can strike and does, every one deserves to be paid well enough. Utter disgrace this country now is.
How clever. You just got a new Prime Minister. You talk first. The Nation is not in the best place right now.
It time to grow up, and give the new PM time to settle.
