Can compensation save money?

Madam, – Proposals made at the Impact union conference beggar belief (Home News, May 13th)

Madam, – Proposals made at the Impact union conference beggar belief (Home News, May 13th). Union members called for financial compensation for the “additional workload caused by the departure of staff under the voluntary redundancy scheme”.

What planet are these people living on? The reason for the redundancy scheme was to save money in the bloated health service. How does financial compensation possibly save money? We have no money! – Yours, etc,
