North's health services job cuts 'cannot be avoided'
Dramatic cuts that could see more than 2,000 jobs go across health and social services cannot be avoided, the North's Health Minister Michael McGimpsey said today.
The minister said that many of the job losses could come from changes already planned in the review of public administration, and expressed hopes that the proposed cut of 700 nursing posts could be eased through planned reductions such as retirements.
