Integrated care boards in England cannot afford severance payments, leaving restructuring plan in chaos, union says
Labour’s radical reorganisation of the NHS has descended into chaos, a union has said, as a huge programme of job cuts has been halted amid a row over who will foot the £1bn bill.
The NHS’s 42 integrated care boards (ICBs) in England were due to make up to 12,500 of their 25,000 staff redundant by the end of the year as a result of health service cost-cutting.
