Arrangements have been made this evening to ensure that frontline ambulance workers receive their full wages this week.

It follows criticism from SIPTU earlier today of a staff shortage issue in the National Ambulance Service’s payroll department which had led a situation where the full wages of some 150 emergency medical technicians (EMTs) were at risk of not being paid on Thursday.
