Health Scrutiny Report Back
I have covered much of their agenda in earlier postings.
Health Scrutiny was right to demand more info on what is a 10% cut in budget. The PCT has provided more on its cuts and Councillors would expect more infor on a similar level of cut by the Council. If necessary they should refer the issue to the Secretary of State.
We hear a lot about NHS redundancies, but what we forget is the impact of these cuts on the local economy through its potential impact on employment agencies who provide temporary staff for the NHS. Whilst St Helier uses 7000 people this is spread across 4ooo full-time posts which shows how many part time posts there are.
