Army on standby to help during NHS strike
Troops are on standby in the capital to run the ambulance service. London's paramedics are among NHS workers taking part in a four-hour strike on Monday morning.
Troops prepare ahead of NHS strike
Troops have been making ready to provide ambulance cover during tomorrow's strike by NHS staff. ITV London filmed these pictures of the preparations at Wellington Barracks earlier this afternoon. Paramedics are among those walking out for four hours from 7am, after the Government refused to grant a one per cent pay rise to all NHS staff.
