NHS across UK spends a ‘staggering’ £10bn on temporary staff | The Guardian

Reminder that this money does *not* go to the temps (mostly nurses and doctors) who only get a tiny fraction of it: it's money paid to commercial employment agencies, ie. Tory donors. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/jan/16/nhs-across-uk-spends-a-staggering-10bn-on-temporary-staff

Can confirm. I used to work at the temp staffing office for my local trust. We were paying through the nose for temp staff from agencies. Most people would leave working for the trust to work for the agency because they got more money than "standard staff" being paid by NHS
