I work at a local hospital, and our trust is having meetings about cutting 60 beds across our county 
My unit is one in the front line for closure. We will know in 3weeks what is going to happen. If I am offered another post it could be anywhere across the Sussex county even if I cannot get there! If I turn it down, I am seen as voluntary unemployed, and benefits could be declined.
In some respects I wish I was older, retirement looks so much out of reach.
Things seem to have got worse since our NHS have gone to "Foundation" status, they run it like a business now
