He has identified several positions that can be eliminated without impacting hospital services, including cooks helpers, guards-firemen, a janitor, a mail clerk, a property officer, and nursing assistants. The hospital is transitioning some nursing assistants to practical nurses and eliminating nine positions. The hospital has a patient load of 125 to 130 but had a payroll that cannot be justified.
