Working hours. Minute stakes.
The working time directive has major implications for NHS employers. Many NHS employers believe current systems for recording hours worked will not meet the directive's requirements. The introduction of leave entitlement for bank and agency nurses is likely to cost the NHS an extra 40 m Pounds or more a year. The directive does not currently apply to junior doctors. But if, as expected, they are brought within it, the implications for the NHS are huge.
