Cuts to jobs and services

The NHS is facing one of the most challenging periods in its 60 year history as the Government looks to find billions of pounds of efficiency savings.

Across the UK, individual NHS organisations continue to announce plans for efficiency savings which are likely to impact on services and jobs. You are in a position to see firsthand the cuts that are being made in your local area and we want to hear about this.
