Temporary Staffing Data Collection

Background

The monthly temporary staffing data collection collects information in relation to temporary staffing activity across all trusts or providers in England. The data will enable NHS England to have oversight of NHS bank and agency expenditure within the NHS in England. The data will  also help to support the efficient use of temporary staffing, in particular by monitoring performance against system agency expenditure limits.


Launch and submission dates

The data is collected monthly to collect the previous months’ data. Registered users will have access to the exact dates in the Data Collections Framework.


Guidance and supporting information
