30,000 jobs could go in Labour’s radical overhaul of NHS
Loss of staff will be at least twice as big as thought, as new NHS England chief tells regional boards to cut costs by 50%
This is such a misleading headline.
The Tories created NHS England in 2012, basically an independently ran management layer for the NHS. Labour is bringing it back under government control.
There was a lot of extra bureaucracy by adding this additional 'NHS England' layer, with a lot of nurses in particular hired to do it.
Yes, a lot of these people's administrative/management jobs will no longer be needed, but it's very likely a great deal of these people (who again are predominantly nurses) will be hired by the (government-ran) NHS.
Why is everyone so anti progress?
