Bedford Hospital NHS Trust said it had reduced costs in a number of areas, including not filling vacancies, but further action was now needed. It said £5m would be saved by the loss of the equivalent of 121 full time jobs and changing the way it runs services. A union spokesperson from Unison said: 'It is the most wilful act of destruction Bedford has ever seen.'
