The NHS says it might not be able to renew all staff contracts in the Bristol region.
By Alex Seabrook & Clara BullockHospitals are facing job cuts due to high inflation and temporary funding coming to an end.
As a result, NHS bosses say many workers in fixed term posts will likely not have their contracts renewed. They say it is unclear how many roles will be affected in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.The government provided extra money to NHS organisations during the pandemic but this funding stream will end in March, according to theMr Devlin, chief executive of the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board , said the ICB would soon feel "a little smaller"."They are all individually aware of that change.
"Because part of our change has meant a considerable reduction in fixed term posts, and also because we have held a large number of vacancies, we have not gone out with a voluntary redundancies process. "There will still be people affected, but we are hoping to avoid any form of compulsory redundancies."
