NHS leaders have voiced alarm after a leading health union unveiled plans for 10 more strikes that will severely disrupt ambulance services over the next two months.

The Unite union’s move means the NHS will face an even greater struggle to provide normal care on 6 February, when nurses and ambulance personnel in the GMB union are already set to walk out.
