MoD cuts to include medical staff

I am shocked – and that takes a lot where the MoD is concerned - not just by the scale of the cuts, but by the official confirmation that medical staff will be targeted. So many of our military compensation claims arise from situations in which Medical Officers haven’t applied regulations to giving personnel the correct medical grading for their work. Sometimes they haven’t been properly trained, and sometimes they haven’t had the time to spend, but cutting their numbers is only going to make things worse.
