He's in Hounslow so would be referring to West Middlesex hospital.

The aim of the turnaround plan is to reduce this (1,921 jobs) by 261 posts over the next two years mainly through natural wastage and reducing reliance on temporary staff."

It has also been stated that the savings will largely be made from medical staff. The hospital has noted: "The savings in medical staff costs will be made from a reduction in the number of agency staff we use. These are being replaced by permanent staff, which improves the quality of service we are able to provide.�

so it's not 350 jobs ,and it's not a immediate loss and most of the cuts are through natural wastage .I would also imagine that quite a few of the jobs are superfluous and were created to keep unemployment down

Or if Arthur is unwilling to answer yet again, What area is Arthur in so we can chack on the facts

Perhaps he lives in Belfast that's losing 620 nurses this year alone, the scale of these cuts makes me wonder if we'll actually have a health service left once they are finished.

Would you like to explain how Labour would have continued to spend at the rate they were if they had stayed in power and where they would have got the money from to pay back all that money they had borrowed and spent and spent again and then spent some more. ???

Labour, NO Boom NO Bust , Yea right more like NO MONEY because we have spent it all

Err no I wouldn't because unlike you I have never voted Labour, you think this current government can get away with anything under the guise of cuts or something? Got news for you people aren't buying it.

I voted Labour once and that was the first time the lying git Blair got in. I will never vote for them again as long as i draw breath

I seem to remember that when Blair gave the NHS a few extra billion in their budget he promised that it would not be for extra mangers but for nurses and doctors ,that proved not to be the case so i would say there is a lot of dead wood in the nhs that needs trimming ,probably in most other government run services as well

and I seem to remember Dave promising the extra couple of billion would be spent on management

The Tory-led government has asked parliament to vote an extra £1.8bn to pay for its big reorganisation of NHS management. This is wasted money which could pay for almost 15,000 nurses for the next three years."

That seems to be a very loaded article based on information from a union led website .Whilst i am not denying that there is some truth to it i wouldn't put too much stock in the information especially as some of the figures are only proposals.
On another note i would hope that the NHS is exploring other avenues of saving money such as with external contractors ,drug suppliers and not just taking the easy option of reducing staff

it helps our reputation but I dont think it does jack for trade. Unless maybe the aid is used to buy weapons of us on the black market. In that case we just getting our money back.

my question is why is there front line job cuts when the tories claimed (a) the budget is ringfenced and (b) funds shifted 'to' the front line.

so where is the nhs money going now?

well they do insist that the savings will be pumped back into patient care ,so in a way the budget is ring fenced all they are trying to do i think is reduce the over staffing and make it run more efficiently, and lets face it the NHS is not known for efficiency and cost effectiveness

There seems to be some confusion - the money is not being spent on management, it is being spent on getting rid of layers of management.

When you downsize the layers, you have to pay for redundancy/voluntary early retirement - unless of course you don't believe they should be treated the same as other workers.

Of course they shouldn't be treated the same, what other far out views you got Hugh, equal treatment for women

Oh look at that, the polls neck and neck...

I see Arthur did his usual trick. Post crap and then not respond with evidence when asked to
