The largest NHS trust in the north-west of England announced plans to axe nearly 10% of its staff yesterday in an attempt to eliminate a £21m deficit - reports The Guardian.
Pennine Acute trust said it would remove 800 posts at its hospitals in Bury, north Manchester, Oldham and Rochdale - one of the largest job losses to emerge since the NHS went into a period of retrenchment two months ago.
The public sector union Unison said it was a disgrace that the cuts had been announced without any consultation with staff representatives. Nurses heard that their jobs might be at risk from the radio while eating their breakfast.
