Description

On 16 October 2012, hospital Kennemer Gasthuis announced it will cut 250 jobs in the foreseeable future.

According to statements the hospital intends to avoid forced dismissal, but these are not ruled out. The restructuring is due to a decrease in the number of patients, combined with budget cuts by the government. Negotiations with the unions on a social plan have been started.
