SERVICES will be cut and jobs lost as details of another £6m worth of cuts to community health services are revealed.

The biggest cuts come in the hospital at home service which is being axed.Despite being considered a success it is being axed as it needs even more investment for it to be sustainable.

Cuts to the care home nursing team will see six posts lost, another 14 posts in health admin services and a number of other posts including for adult mental health, addictions and asylum support.”In a report to the IJB, at its meeting next week, Ms Wearing said: “Our priority has been to protect core services which deliver care to those who are acutely unwell, support prevention measures and deliver evidenced impact in improving the health and wellbeing of those who access service.

"We know that many of these cuts will create additional cost for the taxpayer, as other services are forced to compensate for lost capacity and shuttered services.
