Again, they're just a symptom, if you want to know the cause refer back to last year's nurses' strike, the one Starmer wouldn't back. Oh and fuckheads banging pans but not wanting to pay any more tax and voting for Johnson.Just been on the BBC main news....

Ban all doctors and nurses as well plus every supplier to the NHS as they are making money as well.Just been on the BBC main news....

Different scenario, you had full staff so presumably recruitment wasn't an issue?Be Honest Lytham. It goes back a lot further than that.
I controlled a Nursing home with 38 beds in the 1990's for four years. We had to have a minimum of nursing staff and care assistants on at all times (24 hours) to remain within the law and the requirements of the CQC. So long as we were fully staffed and they all turned in as well as having every room let, with a percentage of private clients we made a weekly profit on the last 5 rooms. However, if was often the case we had to use agency staff that profits of the home were affected and during one period when there was a bug going around, brought in from a local hospital, we had a fortnight of horrendous bills from the nursing agencies, which affected the profits for a number of weeks.
So it isn't a new or recent problem.
There is a difference between medical staff earning a fair and decent salary, than unscrupulous Agencies taking the proverbial out of the NHS and taxpayer!Ban all doctors and nurses as well plus every supplier to the NHS as they are making money as well.
Why is it strange?What a strange OP
Rubbish - the agencies invest in having the people available to help the NHS and other organisations when it’s needed.There is a difference between medical staff earning a fair and decent salary, than unscrupulous Agencies taking the proverbial out of the NHS and taxpayer!
You do love competition don't you?Rubbish - the agencies invest in having the people available to help the NHS and other organisations when it’s needed.
We live in a Capitalist country. Someone else could provide the service for less if it was worth it.
The NHS has many suppliers, the fact some supply people cover is irrelevant!
There is more than one agency that can supply staff - and its competitive.
…and?You do love competition don't you?
So it's right for the NHS to be paying between £1000-£2000 to Agencies for a Senior Nurse for a full shift?Rubbish - the agencies invest in having the people available to help the NHS and other organisations when it’s needed.

I think it’s more that he wants all the money going to shareholders and not the workers.You do love competition don't you?
The first question is why do you need the nurse on that day and at that time?So it's right for the NHS to be paying between £1000-£2000 to Agencies for a Senior Nurse for a full shift?
Hardly the best use of Taxpayers money?
Captain Talk Bollox you areI think it’s more that he wants all the money going to shareholders and not the workers.
You've missed your vocation One. You should be a senior manager in the NHS.The first question is why do you need the nurse on that day and at that time?
The second question is…
Would you rather not have that nurse working that shift?
People phone in ill all the time, or don’t make work for a variety of reasons.As with most things, there is a happy medium...
If Nurses (and Junior Doctors) were suitably remunerated then there would be less need for Agency cover.
I’ll leave that to others!You've missed your vocation One. You should be a senior manager in the NHS.
If I remember correctly the CPGB is a Marxist-Leninist organisation. Not for me. I'm a cuddly centre-left kinda guy.I’ll leave that to others!
You should work for the communist party
Wow, that was incredibly clever and very cutting.Captain Talk Bollox you are
My last two years of working were on the NHS bench. My wife suggested it - she being full-time NHS. So, I did a couple of years clerking for a team at the Vic. Good it was too. No management responsibility and a good set of people to work with.We do have bank staff but no fucker wants to go on that these days so it's short as well, basically people are ** off in droves.
Bank admin is still popular I think, pretty stress free usually.My last two years of working were on the NHS bench. My wife suggested it - she being full-time NHS.

I spent a fair bit of my time searching through the rather wet bowels of the Vic looking for records. Not the best occupation.Bank admin is still popular I think, pretty stress free usually.
I know some who went to records because they liked the complete lack of responsibility.

It's double their hourly wage pal.I sell to the NHS and from time to time phone up a contact to be told he/she retired last week. A couple of months later they are back working on the "Bank". How much is that costing?
A guy I deal with who is 75 has been retired 10 years and works three days a week when he's not on holiday and and earns more than when he worked full-time.It's double their hourly wage pal.
My wife's Matron in her ward took very early retirement as she knew they could play the system.
Less hours but for £30+ per hour and always needed lovely.
Staffing levels have been deliberately driven down across the public sector in the name of efficiency to the point where agency staff are the norm for large swathes. That comes out of a separate budget, masking the problem, but actually costing more than if permanent staff were in place to cover.People phone in ill all the time, or don’t make work for a variety of reasons.
Some people don’t want to work full time either in a specific role - but are happy to be available in certain circumstances.
The agencies provide a service to the NHS that’s critical and bails them out as well when they need it.
Nobody would have an issue for any working NHS staff doing overtime if needed and getting double time but this playing the system is wrong.I

But he doesn't get sick pay or any holiday pay.I

At 75 he doesn't really need it on top of the state pension.But he doesn't get sick pay or any holiday pay.
Irrelevant if he needs it.At 75 he doesn't really need it on top of the state pension.
Only in your dreams
Really?If I remember correctly the CPGB is a Marxist-Leninist organisation. Not for me. I'm a cuddly centre-left kinda guy.
