HSE Warns of Ambulance Delays Due to Industrial Action - 11/05/2026

Ambulance workers who are members of trade unions Unite and Siptu are to begin work-to-rule action today in a row over pay.National Ambulance Service (NAS) paramedics will also undertake a 24-hour stoppage tomorrow, with its unions saying further industrial action is planned if a dispute with the HSE is not resolved.Last month, members voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action over what the unions described as management’s failure to implement recommendations contained in the 2020 “Roles and Responsibilities Review”.According to the unions, ambulance personnel have taken on increased qualifications, clinical responsibilities and operational duties in recent years.We were joined on The Agenda this morning by SIPTU Ambulance Sector Organiser, John McCamley, who spoke to us some more about this.  Hosted on Acast.
