France – To cut 22,000 hospital jobs

The French government’s bid to cut €3 billion off its bill for hospital spending will see up to 22,000 posts deleted over the next two years.

France’s plan to save billions on health spending has become a little clearer.

Health minister Marisol Touraine says over the next two years 22,000 jobs will not be filled once those in the roles retire or quit.

Many posts filled by temporary or contract workers are also likely to be cut.
