Description
On 23 August 2006 a spokesman of the Radboud University Medical Centre in Nijmegen announced that in 2007, 220 jobs (out of a total of 8,500) will be scrapped, mainly in supporting staff functions like ICT. Forced dismissals are not ruled out.
The main reason for the reorganisation are budget problems, partly due to rising personnel costs. In the past, the government compensated rising costs, but it has ceased to do so.
