Health Secretary Andy Burnham has stated the NHS will have to save £20 billion in coming years. This could lead to patients being discharged early and operations delayed.

Substantive doctors and nurses could also face pay freezes. Foundation hospitals that manage their own budgets have been told they have not managed their own finances well enough to cope with the recession

Nigel Edwards policy director of the NHS confederation has stated " this is unchartered territory and we are exploring ways of dealing with it".

Nursing Personnel see the reliance on temporary and agency staff nurses being increased as government cuts will eventually hit the NHS. Agency nurses and locum doctors are a more cost effective way of staffing in times when budget and costs are under the spotlight.

Nursing Personnel's pricing structure ensures value for money to the NHS and taxpayer while paying agency staff nurses and locum doctors enough to ensure we have a sustainable pool of quality staff available to meet NHS requirements. Nursing Personnel as a result have an abundance of nurse jobs across the UK and are constantly recruiting nurses and health care workers for our expanding list of clients.

Nursing Personnel are paying staff nurses a minimum of £20 per hour for general ward work in any NHS Hospital.
