Could you possibly confirm whether these are a) actual job losses i.e postholders have been dismissed b) job reductions (managing vacant posts) or c) proposals by Trusts about the possible impact on the workforce.
I think the distinction is very important because either a postholder has lost their job or they haven't. So, really, how many people have actually been made redundant? It's not a trick question, I just don't know the answer.

How many, apart from Crisp, are office wallahs and how many are frontline workers including ancillary?
No idea about the balance between office and frontline. My source for these is originally the media with work being done in the Lib Dems.
So... John, you are admitting that these 'job cuts' may not be redundancies. They may be efficiencies, such as those proposed by the government to transfer resources from backline to frontline jobs, they may simply be the decision not to fill posts which have been held vacant for some time, they may be media scare stories which you are tamely trotting out, or they may be from reports written by Trusts to the SHA about a 'potential' impact of PCT budget reductions.
All very different to your bold assertion of up to date job cuts, I'm afraid. Typically Lib Dem though.

I suppose Nigel Crisp was actually not a job cut, but in fact a job expansion.
Otherwise they are from the Media all I have done is to take part in a collation process.

Perhaps you could usefully 'collate from the media' all of the stories from the Birminham Post and Evening Mail about the fiasco the ruling coalition are making in running Birmingham... because obviously if it is in the media, it must be true.
