Agency Nurses
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to reduce the use of agency nurses in the NHS.
- Answer
-
In 2015, we introduced measures to reduce spending on agency staff, including price caps, procurement frameworks and expenditure ceilings. This has contributed to the National Health Service reducing expenditure from £3.6 billion in 2015/16 to £2.4 billion in 2020/21. In September 2022, NHS England re-established such measures, including a system agency expenditure limit and we have worked with NHS trusts to develop staff banks.
