| Annotation | The title, "Flexible staffing services in the UK health and care markets" reflects the broad scope of this report. Commercially provided "flexible staffing" services are taken to include: health and care staff provided by employment bureaux; domiciliary care staff provided by homecare operators; and niche areas such as out-of-hours and locum services for general practitioners (GPs), dentists, pharmacists and opticians. The report covers the UK recruitment industry and flexible staffing; the purchasers of flexible health and care staff; the industry's structure, including major players; and changes in legislation and regulations. A chapter on the UK's healthcare workforce, focusing on nurse shortages, discusses government recruitment policies and their potential impact on the NHS workforce and on other health and care occupations. Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Labour Force Survey (LFS) from 1992 to 2000 indicate the trend in numbers of temporary employees in health and care occupations. (RH). |
