A Unison officer warned: ‘If the Government don’t start talking to us the staff will get increasingly frustrated with this war against them’
Individual ambulance drivers may become too frustrated with the Government to provide “life and limb care”, a union officer has warned.
Alan Lofthouse, of Unison, said staff “may choose not to provide” the life-saving cover during days in which ambulance services will be disrupted by strikes.
Life and limb care referred to critical care such as cardiac arrest.
Mr Lofthouse told Sky News: “The trouble is, if the Government don’t start talking to us, the staff will get increasingly frustrated with this war against them as they see the rhetoric from the Government.
“And they then may choose not to provide life and limb cover, which is a place that I don’t think any of us wants to get to.”
