Angry demonstrators walked from the town centre to the Royal Bolton Hospital to protest at the latest proposed cuts in jobs and services, reports the Bolton News.
The procession was organised by Unison, the staff union at the hospital.
Last week regional health bosses, NHS North-West, announced plans to move initial tests in ear, nose and throat, urology, gynaecology, general surgery and orthopaedics into independently-run Clinical Assessment Treatment Centres.
Hospital chiefs predict this will result in £3.7 million being cut from the Royal Bolton’s yearly budget and the loss of up to 130 jobs.
