Why heath service strikes will not end anytime soon, writes ChrisMasonBBC
A senior figure in another union predicts a deal will have to be done in the NHS, because no government can win a popularity contest with nurses and ambulance staff.
But union sources counter that ambulance services are organised regionally, and so the only way to organise strike day preparation is regionally, even if that takes longer. One source talks down a souring of relations, but characterises it like this: "Things haven't cooled. They just haven't really changed."
In other words: cut something you're already spending money on, and you can spend that money on pay. But you're not getting any new money.
