The ambulance service has issued a warning to workers about staffing levels in the coming weeks saying its position is "significantly depleted".
Staff at the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service have received an email from one of its directors saying that it is doing all that it can to provide the required level of shift cover as it feels the pressures of a number of staff absences due to Covid and sickness.
The email says that the NIAS recognises the impact that the reduced levels of staff can have on those who are working and that it has taken a range of actions to mitigate this.
