Description

Southern University Hospital has announced plans to cuts 400 jobs in Essex. The cuts are blamed on the current economic climate and the transfer of some of its services to the community that have resulted in a decline in income. The cuts will affect both clinical and administrative staff while unions worry that patient care will also be affected.
