Job Losses At Manchester Nhs Trust

EDM number 707 in 1991-92, proposed by Robert Litherland on 19/02/1992.

That this House is appalled to learn that the Manchester Central Hospital and Community Care National Health Service Trust, the flagship of the Government's opt-out policy in the North West, has admitted that there will be enforced job losses as part of a three million pound cuts package to balance the books; notes that cuts of this magnitude are a recipe for disaster and the ultimate decline in patient care; deplores the attitude of the Secretary of State in refusing to accept Members' questions on the subject; and now calls upon him to take action to retrieve the crisis situation at Manchester Central Trust and recognise the scheme is doomed to failure.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
