Hospital jobs count

Published: 28 April, 2011

• YOUR newspaper specifically referred to 450 jobs being axed at the Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead (New Journal, April 7).

The breakdown of the “450 total” was 16, 107, 107, 23 and 137 posts, leaving a shortfall of 60 unidentified posts (13.33 per cent of the total).

This is a large enough discrepancy to warrant explanation. 

I have had cause to write to both this hospital (pictured) and University College London, as to the reliability of data produced by them.
