Thousands of NHS England jobs at risk in ‘radical reduction and reshaping’
NHS England jobs could be cut by half in major shake-up
- Thousands of jobs at NHS England are at risk due to a "radical reduction and reshaping" plan.
- The changes, which will be led by incoming interim chief executive Sir Jim Mackey, aim to streamline roles and eliminate duplication with the Department of Health and Social Care.
- This announcement follows a previous plan to reduce its organisational structure by 15 per cent – the equivalent of 2,000 jobs – to save £325 million.
- Unison expressed concern about the rapid changes and potential negative impact on staff and patient care.
- Several NHS England leaders, including the chief executive, are stepping down amidst this major restructuring.
