STRIKE action will hit the Welsh ambulance service tomorrow as Unite members walk out, while pay talks with the Welsh government continued over the weekend.
Other health unions in Wales decided to pause industrial action to consult members this week after an improved pay offer was negotiated in intensive talks last week.
The improved offer includes the £1,400 consolidated increase from the NHS pay review body and a further 3 per cent, of which 1.5 per cent is consolidated into pay and backdated to April 2022.
