Hospitals: Agency Workers
(asked on 30th January 2024) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many agency staff were employed in NHS hospitals on 30 January 2024.
This question was answered on 6th February 2024
Agency workers are not National Health Service employees, and their services are invoiced upon their delivery. Invoices for these services will confirm the hours billed, and the cost of those hours. Due to the variability and complexity of the invoices, it is not possible to collect reliable statistical data on agency headcount.
