:04:44. > :04:46.we can deliver will create capacity to free up approximately 15$ of the
:04:47. > :04:53.workforce. That capacity max result in people being redeployed on to
:04:54. > :04:56.other work, but that may also mean some staff reductions. The d`mail
:04:57. > :05:01.adds that any staff reductions are very unlikely to be achieved through
:05:02. > :05:05.natural wastage alone. 15% of staff in Plymouth would be nearly 100
:05:06. > :05:08.jobs. On the other hand there were fears among unions that
