Cut the waste and the NHS is affordable, as is!

Sunday Telegraph: EU working time rules forced the NHS to spend over £1bn on temporary staff in 2010-2011
An investigation by the Sunday Telegraph into the effects of the EU’s Working Time Directive has found that the NHS spent £1.03bn in 2010-11 on temporary staff in order to cover staff shortages, with some doctors hired at rates of up to £20,000 a week. Charlotte Leslie MP is quoted in the Metro saying, “These are shocking figures. It’s not just the taxpayers who are suffering; patients will too.”
