AN UNDER-FIRE health board has responded to concerns over a recruitment freeze aimed at shedding 350 jobs.

- CONOR GOGARTY

It comes as Cardiff and Vale University Health Board faces intense criticism over its management of the nation’s biggest hospital, Heath's University Hospital of Wales.

Days ago, the Echo revealed hundreds of doctors had sent a scathing letter to the health board’s bosses over inadequate facilities, “all-time low” morale, and various other problems.

One issue they described as “deeply concerning” in the letter was “the recent decision to freeze recruitment following a yearlong vacancy freeze”.

They revealed the health board was planning to shed around 350 jobs to release £4.2m by March 2026 “with further reductions set to follow’:

The letter - from almost 300 consultants - claimed the recruitment freeze had been announced without consulting them.
