Scale of public sector job cuts revealedAs part of government efforts to enhance the efficiency of the UK''s public services, it has been revealed the sector is facing losses of around 600,000 jobs.

The scale of planned cuts was revealed by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) and they are likely to take place over the next six years, with 490,000 completed by 2015.

However, the government has insisted that despite the reduction in the public sector workforce, there will be more people in work overall.

David Cameron explained during prime minister''s questions that full tables had been drawn up reflecting projected employment in both private and public organisations.

Continuous improvement and operations management programmes are likely to become increasingly important during the coming months, as the impact of cuts introduced in the emergency Budget on June 22nd by chancellor George Osborne is felt.

Established in May 2010, the OBR has been charged with assessing the economy and public finances independently and is currently chaired by Sir Alan Budd.ADNFCR-3058-ID-19869939-ADNFCR
