Jobs are being shed at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Brisbane as part of a bid to save taxpayers $15 million.

Children’s Health Queensland Hospital and Health Service has confirmed it is cutting 99 full-time jobs, or five per cent of the workforce.

This will see positions reduced at the Royal Children’s Hospital, the Child and Youth Community Health Service and the Child and Youth Mental Health Service.
