HMRC press release: £900,000 penalty for promoter of tax avoidance scheme » Read the full story
The Royal College of Surgeons warns that government cutbacks have led to some hospitals using inexperienced locum surgeons as consultants. As well as a lack of experience, the organisation says some foreign locums do not have a good grasp of the English language.
HMRC has been investigating the employment status of locum doctors and as a result they and the practices they work in may have to pay extra tax.
The REC recently hit back at the way the Department of Health focuses on the money that is spent on locum staff instead of concentrating on the advantages they bring to the National Health Service.
Andrew Lansley, the new Health Secretary, has announced that family doctors rather than locums will be responsible for out-of-hours care.
