Twelve jobs go at Hospital
14/ 3/2007
TWELVE jobs will be lost at Macclesfield Hospital as a result of plans to relocate services.
But bosses say this reduction in workforce from 61 to 49 will be met by natural wastage or voluntary redundancy.
Proposals to move facilities from the area known as the Blue Zone - with older and more expensive to run buildings - form part of the trust's financial recovery plan. Some services will be relocated to new buildings in the main hospital or provided closer to home in the community. But because of these plans, the trust say they will no longer need such a large estates team as they expect on-site activity to reduce.
Sally Campbell, director of human resources, said they have been working closely with department staff to reduce the size of the team, without the need for compulsory redundancies: "A new structure and ways of working within the Estates Department means we are now able to reduce the number of full-time posts by 12 to a total workforce of 49. That reduction will be met by natural wastage or voluntary redundancy."
