MP calls on ambulance bosses to reject regional pay agreements

The MP for Exeter has urged managers of the South West Ambulance service not to introduce regional pay scales.

Ben Bradshaw says the ambulance service is under financial pressure because of Government cuts, and the transfer of the contract for hospital transport services to private companies.

But he fears a regional pay agreement in this area would lead to lower salaries
