“The Health and Human Services Department said Thursday it plans to slash 10,000 full-time employees across the nation’s foremost health agencies. The cuts will dramatically reduce the capacity of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), among others now overseen by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The restructuring is intended to streamline functions and cut costs from the nearly $2 trillion department, according to a press release announcing the cuts. … The cuts will reduce the HHS workforce by about a quarter, from 82,000 to 62,000 full-time employees.” (03/27/25)
