Wolverhampton Health Authority And The Ambulance Dispute

EDM number 397 in 1989-90, proposed by Dennis Turner on 29/01/1990.

That this House welcomes the resolution carried by the Wolverhampton Health Authority at its meeting on 23rd January in which it drew the attention of the Secretary of State to the very serious disruption of services to the population of Wolverhampton resulting from the ambulance service dispute; and calls upon the Secretary of State for Health to implement its recommendations for an interim settlement to be reached based on the reasoned evidence presented by the parties to the dispute, to a mutually acceptable third party, and that such a third party should consider the evidence and offer advice to both the Secretary of State and the trade union on an appropriate settlement and that such an arrangement would allow more time to enable more thought to be given to procedures designed to avoid a recurrence of the present dispute.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
