Ambulance workers are striking on 6 February and their absence will be covered by the army but the government has said it has not been provided with exactly where they are striking.
In a letter to the PM, she drew a comparison to the, after he was found to have breached the ministerial code in relation to his tax affairs.
"Big decisions can be made by you at any point in the week in the interests of good government," she said, urging Mr Sunak to show his government is on the side of the"hardworking, decent taxpayer". "There could be no simpler way to demonstrate this commitment than bringing the nurses' strike to a swift close."Nurses will strike on 6 and 7 February as they call for better conditions and a pay rise. They want 5% above RPI inflation - but have said they would accept around 10%.
Ambulance workers will join nurses for the first day and walk out again on 10 February in a call for an inflation-matching pay rise and better conditions.The RCN and other NHS unions called off strikes in Wales this week after receiving a new pay offer from the Welsh government, while negotiations in Scotland are ongoing.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay called the industrial action"regrettable" and despite contingency plans, said that the strikes will"undoubtedly have an impact on patients and cause delays to NHS services".
