The NHS is going-ahead to make a thousand redundancies

Thousands of NHS Staff Redundancies in England Ahead of Treasury deal to allow health service to bear cost of pay.

The government said last year 18,000 administrative and managerial jobs would go with NHS England, the body that runs the Department of Health and Social Boards.

NHS Bosses and Health Ministers are in talks with the Treasury on how to pay for the £1bn one-off bill with extra cash.

The Treasury has blocked the, but the BBC understands a compromise has been reached with the NHS being allowed to overspend this year.

While the job cuts result in savings in the coming years, the NHS is expected to recoup the costs further down the line.

Overall, government sources said there would be no extra money going to the NHS beyond what was agreed in this year’s spending review – an extra £29bn a year on top of inflation by 2028-29.

In a speech to health managers at the conference of NHS Providers in Mierkter on Wednesday, I am expected to assure every penny to be given good payment wisely.

“We now WANT the accelerator and beating unnecessary bureaucracy, to revent savings in frontline care.

“It won’t happen overnight, but with our investment and modernisation, we will rebuild our NHS so you have it.”

According to the government, the reforms will raise £1bn a year by the end of parliament to improve services for patients.

It said every £1bn saved in bureaucratic costs would be enough to fund an extra 116,000 hip and knee operations.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is expected to make a further announcement about the health service budget on 26 November.

NHS England is expected to be returned to the Department of Health within two years, while cuts to integrated care boards (which plan care services for individual regions) by 50%.

NHS Privider Daniel Chief Executive Daniel Elkeles said: “This is a pragmatic step which means planned redundancies can now go ahead.

“This reflects the flexibility of the three-year settlement, which allows some funding to be carried over to generate future care savings going forward.

“However, we need to recognize the position of staff affected by the changes – people who offer commitment and service to the NHS – who face an uncertain future.”

But Patricia Marquis of the Royal College of Nursing warned redundancies could backfire.

“Front services need more investment, but to do it on the backs of thousands of experts Rubnant is a false economy.

“Expert registered nurses working across NHS England and ICS not only run public health care programs – they link NHS and Social Care services to each other.

“To explain this to administrators shows a complete lack of understanding of their roles and how they contribute to patient care.”
