Health board chiefs meet to discuss job cuts

JOB cuts in Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary were discussed by senior management in the Mid-Western Health Board yesterday.

The Department of Health has told the board not to fill 65 jobs as part of the freeze on the hiring of 800 health services staff nationwide.

Yesterday, an MWHB spokesperson said spending was on target and the board hoped to break even at the end of the year.
