UK medical jobs to experience funding boost
Friday 1st August 2008
In a boost to UK medical jobs, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has revealed it is to invest £200 million in a project which will see the recruitment of 2,000 military and civilian staff.
Under the organisation's plans, a new military medical centre will be constructed in the West Midlands.
The MoD stated that facility - which is to be based at Whittington Barracks in Lichfield, Staffordshire, and will comprise accommodation, offices, and training facilities - will become completed by April 2010.
It is hoped that the decision to site the medical centre in the Midlands will bring new jobs to the region, as well as help to fulfil the government's objective of moving jobs out of London and the south-east.
Under secretary of state for defence Derek Twigg said: "The range of facilities in the area will enhance our ability to deliver medical support for our forces both at home and overseas on operations."
