Hospitals in England are paying up to £5,200 for a single agency doctor shift amid the growing pressure on the NHS, an investigation has revealed
Labour promised to tackle staff shortages int he NHS by doubling the number of medical school places to train 15,000 doctors a year and 10,000 new nurses and midwives every year, with plans to double the number of qualifying district nurses too.
Wes Streeting, Labour's shadow health secretary, said: "Desperate hospitals are forced to pay rip-off fees to agencies, because the Conservatives have failed to train enough doctors and nurses over the past 12 years. "It is infuriating that, while taxpayers are paying over the odds on agency doctors, the Government has cut medical school places, turning away thousands of straight-A students in England."
