Commenting on the figures, British Medical Association (BMA) Chairman Mr James Johnson, said: “NHS trusts are under mounting pressure to balance the books and posts are being cut. This is devastating for the staff who are made redundant and demoralising for those who are left to cover the work. Although the majority of job losses are nonmedical they will inevitably have a negative impact on patient care.”
