Thousands of Welsh Ambulance workers will go on strike again today after refusing a new pay offer from the Welsh Government. Both GMB union members and Unite union members rejected the pay offer and will continue their strike action on Monday.
Around 1,500 members of GMB will join 10,000 Unite ambulance staff across Wales and England today. The Welsh Government offered a pay increase of 1.5% and a one-off payment equivalent to a further 1.5% of salary - this is on top of a 4.5% increase which has already been awarded. Health minister Elunedd Morgan said it was their final pay offer. You can read about the full details of the pay offer here.
The strikes should not have an impact on 999 life-threatening calls - category one and includes things like cardiac arrests - and will only impact patients that are considered in a non life-threatening situation. Patients who need critical treatment such as cancer care will also be transported, the BBC reports.
