Nurses, ambulance staff, midwives and physios will consider an extra 3% pay offer by ministers.

Monday’s strike action by ambulance staff in the GMB union has been postponed after an improved offer was tabled by the Welsh government.

The BBC has been told the Welsh government offered a one-off pay deal, as well as improved consolidated pay rise for workers.

The GMB has decided to postpone industrial action while it considers this new development.

It is unclear what other unions have decided to do at this stage.

About a quarter of the ambulance service in Wales, including paramedics, call room staff and ambulance technicians, are represented by the GMB.
