Following the news that Welsh Ambulance Service workers have voted to go on strike over pay and conditions, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:

“As industrial action goes, this is possibly the most alarming in terms of the potential risk to life but who can blame our hard-pressed ambulance staff given the conditions they face and their reasonable pay demands?

“The Welsh Labour Government must negotiate with the unions in order to reach a fair compromise and ensure life-saving services operate at full capacity during the winter.”
