ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th NOVEMBER 2018
Question
Will the Minister advise how much has been paid to nursing agencies for temporary staff since January 2016, breaking the figures down to show –
- how much of this cost was paid to the individuals employed; and
- what sums were paid per each period of employment when the actual wage that was directly paid to individuals is removed (i.e. the proportion of the contract paid to the agency);
and will he further state how many of the agencies used were not based in Jersey?
Answer
The total agency spend for nursing agencies since January 2016 to 15 November 2018 is £5,963,007

- Please refer to the response provided in (a) above.
11 of the agencies used to source Registered Nurses are UK-based.
