Balanced News: It is not the fault of unions if patients die during ambulance strikes, says union boss

It is not the fault of ambulance unions if patients die during nationwide strikes on Wednesday, one union boss has said. Christina McAnea, the general secretary of Unison, said that is is “absolutely the Government’s” fault and accused them of being “totally irresponsible”. Around 25,000 staff are due to go on strike on Wednesday in a dispute over pay, with 10 of 11 trusts in England and Wales affected.
