Army personnel who are being drafted in to cover ambulance workers through this month's NHS strikes will have to stick to the speed limit, and are banned from running red traffic lights - it has recently emerged.
A predicted number in the region of 750 armed forces troops will be deployed next week - while 10,000 ambulance workers stage widespread walkouts, in a long-running dispute with the Tory Government over pay and working conditions.
But those set to drive emergency vehicles will be diverted largely to non-urgent cases, due to road restrictions.
