Ambulance workers and paramedics across Sheffield went on strike today after talks between the Government and unions again failed to break the deadlock over pay.

Today (January 11) marks the first of four wide-reaching walkouts across England this month by healthcare staff, with around 25,000 ambulance workers staging industrial action until midnight. Unison and GMB members from at least three of Sheffield’s ambulance stations – Middlewood, Batemoor, and Longley – will not respond to 999 callouts, with only a skeleton crew on duty to react to life-threatening incidents.
