The Impact of Inefficient Workforce Management

Over the three years leading up to 2021/22, NHS expenditure on bank and agency staff increased by 51%. In 2022/23 alone, the NHS spent £4.6 billion on agency staffing. These costs could have been significantly reduced with better workforce planning and more efficient scheduling.
