Dave. I doubt that there are many staff who complete their training and then sign up for agency work right away. Peoples lives change. They start a family etc and want to work more flexible hours. I think we can all agree that it would be a shame and a huge waste of money if these people left medical/health work for good. Like I said, I saw how hard staff worked on busy A&E departments during 12 hour shifts. Week after week of that sort of work must be hard.to cope with. I would find it hard to tell those people that they should not be able to do agency work if they so wished. There are no easy solutions. There is certainly no quick solution.
