to inflict harm on patients. the three unions striking today have refused to work with us at a national level. they ve insisted on only having local arrangements in terms of the coverage of life threatening and emergency calls. there is further uncertainty on the day because some of the emergency calls, whether they respond or not will be decided on the day in the call centres by members. unions reacted furiously to suggestions they are deliberately causing harm. every time the health secretary speaks, my head is in my hands. i have never seen such an abdication of leadership than i have from rishi sunak and the health secretary. we have negotiated locally all of the cover. category ones will all be answered. but the important thing to say is that this government has walked away from the negotiating table. this strike did not need to happen. 600 troops have been trained to step in and drive ambulances, although they are not allowed
locally all of the cover. category ones will all be answered. but the important thing to say is that this government has walked away from the negotiating table. this strike did not need to happen. 600 troops have been trained to step in and drive ambulances, although they are not allowed to treat patients or use blue lights. in brighton the military could be seen, alongside paramedics bringing patients into hospital. this strike comes at a time when ambulance services are already under intense pressure. in gloucester this week, long queues of vehicles were stuck outside hospital because there was no space inside to unload patients. that same problem has driven up response times across the country, with eight services in england declaring critical incidents this week. this strike could not be happening at a worse time because of the pressures the nhs faces. that is why yesterday, in a letter to the prime minister and again today, we are appealing
doing so, they are not giving an undertaking to cover all of life their name and emergency responses as a national level. writing in the telegraph newspaper, mr barclay also said: (gfx) ambulance unions have taken a conscious choice to inflict harm on patients. but the unions have accused mr barclay of telling a blatant lie . here s one of its leaders. every time the hud secretary speaks i have my head in my hands. i have never seen such an abdication on of leadership from riches to go back and the hud sec. was up the category ones will all be answered and the

Academy sponsorship manager Simon Milton is the man charged with raising a third of Town’s £1.5 million annual investment in a Category One academy. He told TWTD a bit more about the Academy Association and what local business people and supporters will get for their contributions.

for a while. and you and i talked about that. we said don t pay attention to the category. that s the mistake people make. category five as we saw in the bahamas can be catastrophic and devastating, but it s the category ones and twos or even strong tropical storms that really can do some substantial damage over a wide swath, a wide area. so, again, we re not quite done. here in the northeast, as we are seeing, we could be looking at some pretty good swells, some pretty good coastal erosion. so people shouldn t relax just yet. al, thank you. we ll be talking about this for the next few days as well. steph, i m going to hand it back to you. our viewers probably know this about us, but you ve always got my back and that s why it s easy for me to be out here because i know you re taking care of things back there and actually looking after my well-being out here. i m always appreciative of that.
