An NHS trust is to cut 500 jobs in order to save £12m this year, instead of the 342 jobs originally announced on 29 March 2006. Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals said the trust had not made the 'financial inroads' it needed to. Chief executive Peter Coles said urgent measures had been agreed which would take effect as soon as possible. The trust said more than 100 beds will close, consultant sessions will be reduced, and non-clinical budgets would be cut by up to 15%. The additional cuts were announced on 26 July 2006.
