Unions representing doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers and other workers are to campaign against "breakneck" speed of "relentless changes".
And Unison has said the country may be heading for a "summer of discontent".

Savings axe
Meanwhile, Unison said it was "shocked" at the scale of recent job cuts.
City Hospitals Sunderland Foundation Trust has recently said it will cut 10% of its 5,000 workforce to clear a debt of
