UNITE members at an NHS mental health trust have sounded the alarm over plans to cut up to 365 jobs in a bid to save £29 million in the current financial year.
They say the “piecemeal and secretive way” that East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) directors are announcing their decisions is “clearly designed to avoid any proper scrutiny of the overall plans” by the public, watchdogs and politicians.
