Hospitals break cap on locum doctors' pay hundreds of thousands of times in just three months Hospitals have flouted caps on temporary doctors' pay hundreds of thousands of times in a matter of months, new figures show.
A crackdown on the amount the health service can spend on agency staff wages was introduced in an effort to curb spiralling costs.
NHS Improvement said 241,195 pay cap breaches by hospitals in England took place between July and September last year.
A report from the watchdog recently said employers had to break the limit to win a "bidding war" with neighbouring trusts where there was a limited supply of agency staff in the area. The Daily Telegraph
