One of larger strike movements in its history the NHS public health system in England is facing from today, with tens of thousands of workers absent from their duties.

The members of the nursing staff and the staff members of the ambulance service are participating in the strike.

They claim larger increases amid high inflation.

Nurses are on strike in around one in three NHS regional authorities and will continue to strike on Tuesday.

Ambulance workers are on strike today in central and northern England, while a new strike has been announced for Friday and will also affect London and southern England.

Physiotherapists and midwives in England will also strike this week.

Late Friday canceled today’s planned strike by nurses and ambulance staff in Wales, after the local devolved government tabled a higher pay rise offer.
