Scotland’s nursing workforce is "on the brink" as more than £200m has been spent plugging gaps in staffing, Labour has said.
The party hit out after figures showed NHS Scotland spent £236m on agency and bank nurses to plug staffing gaps in the 12 month period ending in March this year.
This represented a 11.3 per cent increase on the previous year and a rise of some 22.4 per cent for agency staff alone.
