00:00Cardiff University's recent decision to cut 400 jobs has proved incredibly controversial.
00:07The students saying they're concerned, the university saying that it's a necessary
00:10step to maintain the establishment's educational future, and those outside the university saying
00:15that there will be effects felt outside of the university too.
00:19Health bosses at the Aneurin Bevan Health Board have aired their feeling with Jenny
00:23Winslade, the board's director of nursing, calling the decision very odd. The board says
00:28the NHS pays universities to train nurses. They're concerned as Cardiff University's
00:33nursing school has roughly 800 students and are very important to the supply chain of
00:37nurses across the country, and the cuts will have a significant impact on nursing numbers.
00:43The university has said that the financial situation at the university is precarious
00:47and cuts, although they have not yet been finalised, could be necessary for the university.
00:52They have opened up a 90-day consultation period and have encouraged people who are
00:55involved in Cardiff to give their thoughts.
