Job cuts
announced by the Horizon Health Network which wants to reduce spending
by almost $22 million in the 2013-14 fiscal year.
There
will be 131 union, non-union and administrative management jobs cut.
That move, along with not filling vacancies and attrition, is estimated
to save $8.7 million but another 12.5 million dollars in savings will
still have to be found.
Facilicorp,
meantime, is consolidating its laundry operations to save 2.4 million
dollars. Laundry and linen from the hospitals in Moncton will be
processed by the laundry facility in Saint John.
