NHS Vacancies in London
London’s NHS Trusts are forking out at least £850 million per year on temporary staff, according to a new report from Labour’s London Assembly Health Spokesperson, Dr Onkar Sahota AM. FOI data collected by Dr Sahota shows some Trusts are spending as much as 10% of their budgets on temporary staff, as the number of vacant staff posts across the capital rises to almost 25,000.
Launching his report, NHS vacancies in London: How to fill the gap, Dr Onkar Sahota AM said Trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups were doing their best but without investment in training and recruitment from the Government, “their hands are pretty much tied”.
