Ambulance strikes due to take place across the North East later this week have been suspended.
Unions called on members to take part in further industrial this month. The action was planned as part of a dispute with the Government over the 2022/23 pay award.
However strike action will now be paused while RCN, Unison, GMB, CSP, Unite and BDA consult their members. The North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) said consultations will be held over the coming weeks.
