What a Christmas gift. Wandsworth NHS will start redundancy consultations on 16 December with up to 150 jobs likely to go. “This gives a lie to the Government’s claim that the NHS is exempt from cuts", says UNISON in the Wandsworth Guardian.
Michael Walker, UNISON regional officer, said: “This gives a lie to the Government’s claim that the NHS is exempt from cuts, these are real NHS workers, doing vital jobs in the NHS and they are set to be made redundant in unprecedented numbers.
“These NHS cuts and reorganisations appeared in no manifesto at the general election in May and are being implemented without parliamentary approval, it's time for local MPs of all persuasions spoke up for the NHS."
