Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and Prairie Mountain Health are among the health agencies following through on a mandate from the Progressive Conservatives to cut management by 15 per cent. Managers at the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority are getting notices Tuesday if their jobs are among those to be cut. The cut translates to a loss of 132 positions at the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and 24 positions at Prairie Mountain Health, spokespeople say. Prairie Mountain Health said layoff notices will be distributed over the coming days. The Progressive Conservatives said at the time the 15-per-cent cut to management is necessary to ensure the sustainability of Manitoba Health.
