Ambulance workers have told ministers that clapping for NHS workers has done nothing to help them pay their bills.
Up to 15,000 Unison paramedics and call handlers went on strike on Monday as they intensified their industrial action over pay.
Simone Morgan, 50, who responds to 999 calls in Wakefield and is a member of Unison, accused ministers of spending too much time in “nice toasty offices” than finding out what the situation is really like on the frontline.
