Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner accused the Government of negligence in its handling of the dispute with ambulance workers.
She told reporters in Westminster: “We’ve seen actually across the ambulance service the crisis that’s engulfing our ambulance service… in the North West, in my area, the ambulance service saying please do not ring for an ambulance unless it is absolutely, desperately needed and advising people to get taxis. The system is at breaking point.
