Thousands of ambulance staff across the North West are going ahead with a second day of industrial action on Wednesday (January 11) in a row over pay.
Military support is expected to be drafted in to help the North West Ambulance Service, as patients have been warned to expect fewer ambulances on the roads and fewer 999 and 111 call handling staff available.
It's the second time paramedics, call-handlers, technicians and other NWAS staff will walk out after staging the biggest strike of its kind in 30 years on December 21.
