    How dare you be such a rude arrogant bigot, I agree with hippyhippyshake, why shouldn't they strike, they have the same rights as you or I and if you looked carefully at why they are maybe that tiny brain of yours would understand, oh and by the way I DO NOT work for the public sector!
    could you please explain what is bigoted by having an opinion ?
    FYI
    A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs.

Callers urged not to use 999 during strikes

8:38am Wednesday 30th November 2011 in News

People have been warned to "think carefully before calling 999" as ambulance workers strike today.

South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust said managers, volunteers and possibly private sector workers would be manning the phones.

However the trust has asked people to consider whether they could "seek alternative assistance" from NHS Direct on 0845 4647 or visiting www.nhs.uk.

SECAmb’s director of clinical operations, Andy Newton said: “Our patients are our top priority and we will do whatever we can to ensure that this action does not significantly impact on them. We would therefore ask the public to use the service wisely during this time.”
