Hospital cuts 'could hit jobs'

Health bosses in charge of three Derby hospitals have said that staff redundancies cannot be ruled out to make £15m worth of savings this financial year - reports the BBC.

The Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs three hospitals include the Derby City General Hospital and the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary.

Health officials said they were trying to avoid job losses by leaving posts vacant and using fewer agency staff. But the chief executive of the trust has said that these solutions may not work in all cases and job cuts may have to be made.
