Responding to developments in the Welsh ambulance dispute, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “It would be wholly premature for Unite to talk about any deals being done in relation to the Welsh Ambulance dispute.

“As far as Unite is concerned negotiations are continuing. Unite will be available all weekend in the hope that a satisfactory offer can be put together to avert strikes next week.

“However, we are not in that place now. So, at the moment Unite’s ambulance workers will be on strike on Monday.”
