Redundancy talk out of line, states Health’s chief officer
Friday 9th July 2010, 2:29PM BST.

He acknowledged that HSSD was looking at a wide variety of options to save money and accepted that discussing these suggestions with staff had caused concern.
But redundancies, voluntary or otherwise, should not have formed part of any discussions with staff.
