More than 600 jobs at two Liverpool hospitals are to be brought in-house which will improve pay and terms for hundreds of staff.
Liverpool University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (LUHFT) has confirmed it will no longer outsource for 670 positions at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen sites which include staff working in hotel services, including cleaning, portering and catering roles. They will be transferred onto NHS employment when the Trust’s existing contract ends this year.
These roles are already delivered in-house at the Trust’s other sites. The move follows market testing and honours a previous commitment by the Trust’s board to review outsourced services when contracts come up for renewal and bring services in house, to deliver best value for money.
