Warnings from ministers and NHS bosses ahead of Wednesday's ambulance strike cover front pages.
"You'd better watch out" headlines the Metro as it leads with a warning from health minister Will Quince amid a strike by ambulance workers on Wednesday. The paper reports Mr Quince encouraged people to avoid "risky activity" such as contact sport or running if it is icy. It comes as 750 troops try to fill the gap left by 10,000 emergency workers, the Metro says.
The paper reports union representatives on picket lines will ask striking paramedics if they are willing to attend 999 calls case by case if requested by teams in ambulance control rooms. It adds officials said there had been "some progress" on ensuring 999 cover, but ministers believe it is "not satisfactory" to rely on staff leaving the picket line in time.
