Diabetes nurses slashed due to Government cuts
HUNDREDS of specialist diabetes nursing jobs are being axed – despite a massive increase in the number of people hit by the potentially-deadly disease. New figures reveal the number of posts left unfilled by hospitals has doubled in a year due to Government cuts. There are currently 218 vacant jobs in the NHS – even though 150,000 more people were diagnosed with the *illness in 2010 than the year before. Doctors say *diabetes rates have soared to 2.8million in the past decade due rising obesity levels.
