End UK's Locums being paid £500,000 as costs soar for the NHS

Britain’s best-paid locum doctors are to earn nearly half a million pounds from the NHS this year, The Times Newspaper can reveal.

The earnings, which are the highest known for a hospital doctor working shifts to plug shortages in the health service, emerged as figures showed that the NHS bill for temporary staff had soared to £1 billion.

Patient leaders said it was unacceptable that at least eight locums were paid more than £250,000 last year. Growing numbers of doctors were tempted to become “permanent temporary” staff because they could earn so much more than in full-time jobs, they warned.
