I see that a bill is likely to be introduced on your return to the Commons to impose minimum service levels at least for certain "blue light" workers. I have seen Grant Shapps telling an interviewer that it would be unreasonable if somebody had a stroke and no ambulance turned up because there was a strike.
I have also heard several stories over the last few days of people waiting 20 or 30 hours for an ambulance. What if somebody had a stroke and no ambulance turned up, not because there was a strike, but because they were queueing up for hours outside an A&E ward waiting to transfer patients for triage?Can hospitals - can the government - guarantee minimum service levels on a non-strike day?
