Nurses, ambulance paramedics, therapists, cooks, cleaners, healthcare assistants and admin staff will be amongst hundreds of NHS workers across west London to strike on Monday morning.

From 7am to 11am on Monday November 24, workers at Ealing, Central Middlesex and Charing Cross hospitals will join hospitals across London by striking for a second day as part of nationwide action over pay.

Police officers and the military have been drafted in to help with 120 soldiers and 150 police officers driving the ambulances.

London Ambulance Service's Director of Operations Jason Killens said: “Only people in a life threatening emergency will get an ambulance response between 7am and 11am on Monday.

“People with injuries such as minor broken bones, women in routine labour, some patients with breathing difficulties or those involved in minor road traffic accidents will be given clinical advice, provided with alternative transport or told to make their own way to hospital.”A There will be either two police or two military in each ambulance (driving and navigating) and one of our staff or a doctor or nurse treating patients.

"We have again agreed ‘life and limb’ cover with our unions – which means staff will come off the picket line to respond to our most seriously ill and injured patients."

The emergency services are asking that people do not call an ambulance unless it is life threatening.

The Royal College of Midwives will, for the second time in history, be joining the strike with 94 per cent of midwives voting for strike action.

UNISON members working in the NHS in London and the whole of England will stage the four-hour stoppage between 7am and 11am. Picket lines will be placed on all hospital sites from 7am.

This will be followed by six days of action short of strike action between Tuesday 25 and Sunday 30 November, when members will stop working through their breaks and instead take their breaks.

Linda Perks, Regional Secretary said: “NHS members don’t take action often or lightly but feel they have no option but to take a second day of action.

“Staff are on average 10% worse off than when the Coalition came to power. This means their families are suffering and morale is hitting rock bottom. A well-motivated workforce saves lives so we need to cherish and support our NHS staff who work day in, day out caring for others.

“Earlier this year, the government decided to ignore the NHS Pay Review Body’s recommendations and instead give a 1% non-consolidated increase only to staff at the top of their incremental scale. Because the award is non-consolidated it will not count towards pension entitlements or shift pay and will be wiped away at the end of March 2016, meaning wages will go back to their April 2013 level.

“Staff not at the top of the incremental scale will get nothing. This means 60% of NHS staff, including 70% of nurses, have been denied a pay award this year.”

UNISON is coordinating the industrial action with the other health trade unions.

The trade unions taking part in the action are: UNISON, Royal College of Midwifes (RCM), Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians (UCATT), Society of Radiographers (SoR), British Association of Occupational Therapists (BAOT), GMB, Unite the Union, Managers in Partnership (MiP), Prison Officers Association (POA), Hospital Consultant and Specialists Association (HCSA) and British Dietetics Association (BDA).

Picket lines will be placed on all hospital sites from 7am including: St Pancras Hospital, Queens Hospital Romford, Barnet General Hospital, Royal London Hospital, Princess Royal Hospital, Bromley, Croydon University Hospita,lEaling Hospital, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Royal Free Hospital, Hillingdon Hospital, Charing Cross Hospita,lKings College Hospital, Kingston Hospital, Lewisham Hospital, Newham University Hospital, North Middlesex Hospital, St Ann’s Hospital, Haringey, Central Middlesex Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Greenwich, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Maudsley Hospital, Springfield Hospital, UCLH, Whipps Cross Hospital, St George’s Hospital and Whittington Hospital.
