Health managers say Wednesday's walkout in England and Wales will be harder to cope with.
The impact of Wednesday's ambulance strike in England and Wales is likely to be worse than that of the one before Christmas, NHS managers are warning.
Government sources involved in contingency planning said the lack of agreement over emergency calls was a concern. "After a decade of refusing to bring in minimum staffing levels, it's ironic that the government is only prepared to do so during a strike. "Trust leaders are working hard to minimise the impact on patients and to support staff during the industrial action - but they are braced for another day of significant disruption and knock-on effects."Alongside paramedics, 999 call centre workers will also going on strike. One ambulance dispatcher, who wishes to remain anonymous, says for them there is no other option.
"It just means we don't have those crews available to respond to calls and it exacerbates our shortness of resources by 10-fold, 100-fold.
