NHS bosses have advertised more than £1million worth of diversity and sustainability jobs this year. Nineteen so-called “non-jobs” are on offer — as the health service has been crippled by a month …
The job advert, posted on January 11, lists overseeing “wellbeing, equality and inclusion” as a duty.Chris Snowdon, at the Institute of Economic Affairs, told The Sun: “The NHS has far fewer doctors per 1,000 people than most EU countries and has half as many hospital beds, but it seems to have an unlimited budget for Net Zero managers and Equality and Diversity officers.
“One million pounds isn’t a great deal in the context of the £200billion the NHS burns through every year, but it is just the tip of the iceberg of wasteful spending by an organisation that claims to be short of cash.” An NHS spokesman said: “While it is down to individual Trusts to decide how to support their own staff, NHS England is reducing the number of job posts by up to 40 per cent.
“The NHS is one of the most efficient health services in the world, spending a far lower proportion on administration costs than comparable countries.”
