Health chiefs will cull up to 8,000 non-frontline NHS jobs as part of a clampdown on 'waste and wokery' in the health service.
NHS England chief executive Amanda Pritchard revealed plans to cut between 30 to 40 per cent of jobs at a trio of health bodies by 2024.
How long have the 'conservatives' been in power? Why are they only just getting around to this now..?
The move will see between 6,000 and 8,000 of the 20,000 jobs at NHS Digital and Health Education England (HEE), which is in charge of training the workforce.
The two central bodies are being merged with NHS England in an effort to reduce duplicating roles and save up to £1billion over five years.
How is it possible that they were ever set up under the noses of successive Health Ministers in the first place? Did no-one have their eye on the ball?
Previous efforts to slash bureaucracy and doubling up of roles in the NHS have cost the taxpayer billions in pay-offs only for the health service to rehire them.
This time, put the stake through the heart AND cut off the head and stuff the mouth with garlic, just to be sure...
