Thousands of US health agency employees laid off
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Thousands of Health and Human Services (HHS) employees in the US were laid off this Tuesday as the Trump administration began implementing its workforce reduction plan.

The job cuts mark the first tangible impact of Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.'s overhaul of the Health Department.

Kennedy's restructuring plan aims to dramatically reshape the department that oversees the U.S. food supply, monitors disease outbreaks, conducts critical medical research and administers health insurance for nearly half the country. He has also said he will create a new office, the "Healthy America Administration," which is intended to absorb agencies that control billions of dollars in funding that manage addiction services and community health centers.

When complete, the cuts are expected to reduce HHS staff from 82,000 to 62,000 positions, cutting nearly a quarter of its workforce through a combination of layoffs and early retirement offers.

Union representatives were notified last Thursday that 8,000 to 10,000 employees will be laid off, including positions in human resources, procurement, finance and IT. Jobs in "high-cost regions" and those deemed "redundant or duplicate" will be prioritized for elimination.

The department has outlined specific job losses at a number of agencies, including 3,500 positions at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 2,400 at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1,200 at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and 300 at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
