No permanent Oamaru Hospital staff are expected to lose their jobs as a result of the Waitaki District Health Services' controversial 'proposal for change' review, it has been announced today. In a statement, Waitaki District Health Services chairman Chris Swann said the feedback from staff had been an essential part of the process. Waitaki District Health Services chief executive Ruth Kibble said permanent staff levels were expected to be retained under the modified review. ''Significantly, no permanent staff member should lose employment with our company as a result of these decisions. A new inpatient nursing roster will be established and a health care assistant role added in the area of acute nursing.
