Commenting on the announcement that more than 400 jobs will be cut across Nottingham’s hospitals, UNISON East Midlands regional organiser Scott Weightman said today (Tuesday):
“Cutting jobs won’t improve services for patients and will damage staff morale.
“At a time when the trust is under ever-increasing pressure, losing dedicated and experienced staff is totally counterproductive.
“UNISON will continue to support NHS staff in defending their jobs and services.”
