This could be a very useful £0.5bn saving if:

1. Commissioning is no worse (hard to see how it could get worse than PCTs).
2. These posts are not recreated.

Whilst I'm sorry on a personal level for people losing their jobs, the NHS is not a job creation scheme and the jury is surely still out on whether the commissioner/provider split is worth the cost.
