3000 Non-permanent staff at our Hospitals??

According to today's Sutton Guardian (page 3) 3,000 of the 7000 staff at St Helier Hospital are not on permanent contracts.

If this is the case I would expect the 480 jobs to go mainly from non-permanent staff. I also expect this to have a knock-on effect on local employment agencies who make a good living by providing temporary staff for the local NHS, especially for unsociable hours.

The Bed reduction is even more serious as it goes much further than the original Better Health Care Closer to Home (BHCH) proposals.
