Manchester: Job cuts at four more hospitals

The NHS health trust which runs four Greater Manchester hospitals could axe up to 800 posts as it struggles to cope with a deficit of £21m, reports the BBC.

The cuts would be made by Penine Acute Trust at North Manchester General, Royal Oldham, Rochdale Infirmary and Fairfield General Hospital in Bury. C

ompulsory redundancies are not being ruled out, but the trust said this would be a last resort.
