Industrial action at North East Ambulance Service paused

Following the press release issued this morning in anticipation of strike action, please find an update below.

Industrial action at North East Ambulance Service paused. 

Those unions with mandates for industrial action, RCN, Unison, GMB, CSP, Unite and BDA will now consult their members in consultations that will be held over the coming weeks. Strike action will continue to be paused while these ballots are ongoing.

As a result of the action being stood down, we are standing down arrangements made to respond to industrial action next week. 

We will continue to work with trade union colleagues closely to keep patients safe and will update you as necessary.

Once again, we thank you for your continued support.
