Not including hidden redundancies (eg. fixed term contracts not renewed), which is likely to double this reported figure.

It's not the job of the health service to discipline labour but Streeting & his friends at Palantir for whom the disgraced Lord Mandelson was a paid lobbyist want to use our confidential medical data to do precisely that.

Only the Greens have promised to kick Palantir out of our public services.
