Top jobs are in the firing line at HSSD

Thursday 25th November 2010, 2:30PM GMT.

Mark CookeFOUR directors at Health and Social Services will have to reapply for their jobs in a major shake-up.

And in the changes announced today by department chief officer Mark Cooke, 13 senior managers could also be affected.

The moves are part of an overall strategy to curb expenditure and create a ‘fit-for-purpose organisation’.

Mr Cooke (pictured) said it was not about short-term savings but the long-term sustainability of a ‘high spending public service’.

HSSD frequently comes under fire for its inability to stay within budget.
