Thousands of health workers will take to picket lines across Northern Ireland on Thursday to protest against the backdrop of an "unprecedented" cost-of-living crisis.
The 24-hour stoppage will be the second full day of action taken by health sector unions in their campaign to secure safe staffing, better pay, and improved mileage allowances.
Ambulance workers including paramedics, nurses, carers and other health and social care workers will take to picket lines at hospitals across Northern Ireland in pursuit of a cost of living pay increase.
