The ambulance strike due to take place on Monday has been called off, two unions have announced.

The GMB and Unite said they had "paused" the 6 March action by Welsh Ambulance Service staff.

A spokesman said: "Significant progress has been made and we are pausing our action to allow us to continue discussions.

"Thank you for all your support so far. We will update you as soon as we are able."

More than half of Wales' ambulance workers went on strike in a continued dispute over pay and working conditions in February, with Unite and GMB members both walking out.

That came after ambulance staff rejected a Welsh government pay offer of 3% for for 2022-23.

At the time Unite's Richard Munn said the offer was "not good enough" for workers who were at "breaking point".

The offer was on top of the average 4.5% paid to health workers last autumn.
