“Where people are planning any risky activity, I would strongly encourage them not to do so because there will be disruption on the day” - Will Quince.
The public have been warned to avoid “risky activities” as ambulance drivers stage strike action.
During the strike, the military will not drive ambulances on blue lights for the most serious calls but are expected to provide support on other calls. Mr Quince urged the public to avoid anything risky on Wednesday, telling BBC Breakfast: “Where people are planning any risky activity, I would strongly encourage them not to do so because there will be disruption on the day.”
“But the key thing is for anybody that does have an emergency situation or a life-threatening situation that they continue to call 999 as they would have done previously, and for any other situation, NHS 111 or NHS 111 online.”Later on BBC Radio 4, he also said that anyone with chest pains on Wednesday should still call 999.
