Summary

The requester asked for the financial costs of agency and bank nurses and HCAs from 2015 to the present, and Manx Care provided total spending data for various staff categories across departments and Nobles Hospital, noting that nurses and HCAs could not be differentiated due to shared finance codes.

Key Facts

  • Manx Care could not separate costs for nurses and health care assistants as they share the same finance code.
  • Total agency spend for the Department decreased from £14.86 million in 2015-16 to a projected £11.48 million in 2019-20.
  • Total bank and relief spend for the Department increased from £9.56 million in 2015-16 to a projected £13.56 million in 2019-20.
  • Medical agency staff represented the largest single category of agency spend, totaling over £6 million annually in recent years.
  • The response covered financial years 2015-16 through a projection for 2019-20 for both the Department and Nobles Hospital.
