Scottish Labour’s analysis of NHS workforce data found that from April 2020 to March this year £1,904,286,884 was spent on temporary staff.
The spending was across Scotland’s 14 health boards, and specialist services including NHS 24, the Scottish Ambulance Service, the State Hospital and the National Waiting Times Centre.
