The government says it has rejected advice from management consultants to cut the NHS workforce in England by 10% over the next five years.
The plans to close 137,000 clinical and admin posts were proposed by McKinsey and Company to save £20bn by 2014.
The consultants also said a recruitment freeze and early retirement programme should be established, the Health Service Journal reported.
But the Department of Health said many services needed more staff not less.
The health service budget is due to rise by more than 5% each year until 2011.
But after that many predict it will see a cut in real terms.
MORE PROOF THAT A POLITICIAN-DESIGNED, BUREAUCRAT-RUN, THIRD-PARTY PAY, TAXPAYER-FINANCED SYSTEM HAS NEVER AND CAN NEVER WORK.
NO WONDER THEY ARE STARTING TO EUTHANIZE PATIENTS - IT SAVES THE GOVERNMENT A LOT OF MONEY: MEDICAL EXPENSES AND PENSIONS!
