strikes the public next week, the sector could reach 57 000 patients in the NHS, about almost 90% of schools and universities in England and Wales, and tens of thousands of passengers companies air force to rethink their travel plans. In a warning that the action could affect the most likely areas of daily life, including the British Museum warned that the articles could be roped in tourists because of staff shortages. According to the TUC, the union orchestrated the attacks, 2.6 million voted for the strike in four sectors - government health, education, public administration and local - with about 750,000 voting yes

more than 57,000 patients may be affected due to the cancellation of operations, outpatient visits and diagnostic tests Wednesday. According to the Ministry of Health estimates that about 20% of the NHS - or 260,000 workers - are on strike, causing a corresponding reduction in output. As a result, there could be at least 40 000 5500 outpatient operations less 12 000 diagnostic tests. Patient transport will also be affected, with 7500 fewer trips, despite all calls to 999 will be served.

Among the benefits, the results of blood tests will delay the transfer of patients to other hospitals will be delayed and some patients have to stay in hospital longer than expected because of the transportation services of the NHS is offered only a limited number of services. Hospitals have started writing to warn patients that people with non-emergency surgery scheduled for next Wednesday will come at a later date.

mothers and children are likely to be affected by health visitors and district nurses are concentrated in only urgent cases, such as families where someone is very sick or if there issues of child protection. Union leaders have agreed with NHS managers who care for patients in emergency care and emergency services, including care and maternity and E will not be affected and that patient safety will be protected. Services for cancer patients and those undergoing kidney dialysis should also be performed normally in the plans set up by the employers' organization of the NHS, local leaders of the NHS and union representatives.

Dean Royles, Director of NHS Employers, said the recent outbreak of flu and winter pressures meant regular health services has been well used to dealing with fewer people than usual. "The unions have said they will try to make this difficult and ensure that emergency relief is not disturbed. They do not seek to ensure maximum disruption, "he said.

protected

services include A & E, emergency surgery, intensive treatment services for cancer and renal dialysis, Royles said. However, many patients are affected. "There will be delays and discomfort for patients who need treatment. Suppose you have taken time off for surgery scheduled for next Wednesday, and one of his family made plans to take care of you and now you realize that surgery is off, it's disturbing, right?.

"There will be interruption of elective surgery, outpatient, reviews, and the health visitor and district nurse services," he said. Although the figures are impossible to predict, a significant number would not be practical, he said.

however, expressed widespread concern that no work could lead to shortages of key staff could affect the care of critically ill patients, despite the provisions in place to ensure these areas are covered including through the transfer of staff to other tasks. "The NHS will need to ensure you have sufficient expertise in each area. But we have enough people from that can make or medical gases to sterilize surgical instruments ?".

While contingency planning should mean things smoothly, there is no guarantee that problems arise, Royles said. "Schools will be closed so that staff were waiting to find really work, and if a patient can be waiting for kidney dialysis, but the ambulance get to you?" Christina Mcan, head of health at union Unite, which represents 450,000 NHS employees, said: "There will be inevitable disruption it is assumed that the majority of outpatient services will be affected on that day ..." In addition, almost all transport services for patients - they have the patients to other hospitals or at home to download - go out. This could lead to delayed discharges or "bed-blocking", next week. Some hospital patients who are medically fit to leave may be sent home to facilitate the work of hospitals, as some are at Christmas, McAn said.

Some medical practices where family physicians are members of the Union of Doctors, a division of Unite, that do not go on Wednesday, while others will be closed for short periods of events to commemorate the action of the MPU, the president said Dr. Ron Singer.Dr Boomla Kambiz, a GP in Tower Hamlets, east London, said the surgery offered only a doctor on the cover of calls, and other practices in the vicinity would also take some measures. Although neither the Royal College of Nursing Royal College of Midwives and a vote of its members, members of both professions that belong in unison went on strike, putting more pressure on hospital resources.

Most of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP) 27 000 members who provide physical therapy for patients in the NHS on strike, except for a few who are treating patients such as high priority the intensive care unit. "Of course, there will be problems with people. Routine treatment, but important, that people often have, such as outpatient, including women's health, will not be provided to date. However, they provide the next day, "said Phil Gray, managing director of the PUC.

Gray could not say how many physiotherapy clinics would be canceled, but said 2236 different items in the NHS would be affected by the action of its members, such as hospitals, clinics and home health services treatment. Similarly, patients with foot problems are clinical suspended following the action of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists (SCP).

education

Almost 90% of schools and universities in England and Wales is expected to close next Wednesday, when hundreds of thousands of teachers stage a mass walk-on reforms retreats. The Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) found that 86.8% of schools - public and private - and the schools were closed, while 11.5% will be partially closed. The union expects 99% of schools in Scotland will be closed.

The Irish National Teachers Organisation, told the Guardian that nearly 100% of all schools in Northern Ireland would be closed. Government and other unions have refused so far, which is drawn in the number of institutions that can close.

However, both the National Union of Teachers and the Ministry of Education (DfE) said they expect the "vast majority" of schools in England and Wales for close. A spokesman said DfE impact of attacks can be considered as "very serious".

unions representing school custodians, teaching assistants and secretaries - Unison, Unite and GMB - are also on strike. At least two universities - Strathclyde Sunderland - all classes are canceled on Wednesday, a move that will affect thousands of students. The University and College Union (UCU) said it would be "serious disturbance" for classes at the university. Many of its members are in the Teachers' Pension Plan - the same model as the teachers of primary and secondary schools. Others are in the pension system and universities will also join the escape.

"One of the points of the strike that caused the interruption. If the services offered by our members are of vital importance for its removal causes mass chaos, perhaps the government should ask why this is not reflected in their willingness to negotiate an agreement? "
For two teachers' unions, the strike Wednesday for the first time that members have voted to go to a national strike. The NAHT has never gone on strike before in its 114 year history, while this is the first national strike in 127 years of history of ATL. Another teachers' union, the NASUWT, did not take industrial action for over 13 years. Local authorities and the DEA will prepare a list of closures in the coming days, but are likely to have a good estimate until the eve of the strike.
more schools and colleges are expected to close Wednesday, June 30, when a similar attack took place on public sector pensions. This time, several unions are involved. Then, 27% of local authorities closed schools, 28% were opened and 24% were partially closed. Data were available for the remaining 21%.

civil service

Government plans for an emergency strike are being finalized Wednesday in much of the public administration. Plans to keep the borders of Great Britain was a dark omen of assurance that the UK Border Agency is rushing to find staff to replace the passport and immigration controls.
immigration officials at Heathrow and other airports in the UK are due to join the action next week against the pension reform. Border Services Agency, as revealed in The Guardian, offers £ 450 for a single tour the former official, tried to lure workers from India, Russia and South Africa with the promise of flights Free and want to train other members of the public for a day of work -. but can not complete the required number of officers to check passports
