<p>More than 50,000 NHS jobs face being axed, including doctors, nurses and dentists, because of Government spending cuts, &#8220;destroying&#8221; claims about the funding of the health service, according to a new report.</p>
<p>A study by False Economy, an anti-cuts campaign group, found that health trusts across the country were cutting staff or warning of job losses.</p>
<p>The report detailed a series of cuts at trusts including East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust; Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust; University Hospital of North Staffordshire NHS Trust; Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust; Belfast Health and Social Care Trust and Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust.</p>
<p>False Economy said the total number of confirmed, planned and potential NHS staff cuts across the country was more than 53,000, adding that more NHS trusts were expected to announce staff cuts over the next four months, including all Wales&#8217; health boards.</p>
<p>Brendan Barber, general secretary of the TUC, which supports the pressure group, said: &#8220;False Economy&#8217;s new research on NHS job cuts gives the lie to Government claims that the NHS was safe in their hands.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not only are they reorganising the NHS in a way that strips out many of its founding principles, but also insisting on immediate cuts that will certainly harm frontline services. To echo health secretary Andrew Lansley, it does not get much more frontline than that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Unison&#8217;s General Secretary Dave Prentis said: &#8220;The Tories are not the party of the NHS &#8211; they are the party that will destroy our NHS.</p>
<p>&#8220;Losing 50,000 health workers will hurt. It&#8217;s only a matter of time before the toll of bed shortages and ward closures mount up. With fewer nurses on wards, the return of long waiting lists, and a rise in cancelled operations, patient care will be an early casualty.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Tories cannot ignore the mounting evidence that they have got it wrong on the health service, and wrong on recovery. They need to put the brakes on the cuts, and shelve the titanic re-organisation of the health service before it&#8217;s too late.</p>
<p>&#8220;Instead of sacrificing patients, the Tories should make the UK&#8217;s major banks pay their fair share in tax, and tackle the galling spectre of big City bonuses.&#8221;</p>
