Patients angry over Worcester hospital cuts

Staff, patients and campaigners have said 720 job losses at three hospitals will affect the quality of care, reports the BBC.

The Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust has said it needs to make the job cuts to help tackle £30m debts - just two days worth of Britain's unjustified payments to the EU.

Health chiefs have said patient care at the Worcestershire Royal in Worcester, the Alexandra in Redditch, and the Kidderminster Hospital will not be hit.

But one campaigner said people were scared of getting ill for fear that they will not get the right treatment.
