[n2doc]

More than 200,000 public sector jobs have already been axed or are at risk of being lost after massive spending cuts even before the Government unveils its comprehensive spending review, new research revealed today.

Councils, health authorities, police forces, Government departments and other public sector bodies across the country have all taken an axe to jobs in recent months after having their budgets slashed.

A study by the GMB union showed that 150,000 jobs were lost or are in the pipeline to be cut in over 150 public sector organisations across the UK, ranging from local authorities and hospitals to police authorities and the fire service.

Research by the Press Association showed that another 90,000 workers could lose their jobs because of moves by public sector organisations to cut spending, which is also having a knock-on effect in private firms.
