NHS Grampian: 700 jobs cut
A KPMG report recommended NHS Grampian leverage generative AI to achieve a 30-40% phased reduction in back-office roles, potentially saving £11.7-15.6 million by 2030. The board employs approximately 8,000 back-office and administrative staff, meaning 2,400-3,200 roles could be affected through attrition and reorganization combined with AI investment.
