UK – NHS jobs to be outsourced to INDIA unions claim

Hundreds of NHS jobs could be shipped off to India under cost-saving plans being considered by health chiefs, unions have claimed. 

The country’s biggest health union, Unison, said the cuts could cost 900 British workers their jobs.

NHS England managers are set to consider the plans at a crunch board meeting tomorrow.

Most of the roles under threat are low paid ‘back office’ jobs, such as dealing with prescription charges, payments to GPs and crucial referrals for cancer screening.

Unison has written to board members urging them to reconsider the plans, which emerged in agenda papers published last week.
