Revision on 19 August 2025: The medical agency expenditure for the year ending 31 March 2025 was published on 19 August in the NHS Scotland workforce Official Statistics. These data were not released as planned on 3 June 2025 due to concerns over quality raised during the Early Release for Quality Assurance period by an NHS Board. Data providers, NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), worked with NHS Boards to validate the data sourced from NHS Scotland's Finance Platform. Compared with the original extract provided to NES, there were minor changes made to the expenditure for four NHS Boards.
Medical agency expenditure data for the year ending 31 March 2025 is included in the annual report and dashboard (not the summary). There are no other changes to the NHS Scotland workforce official statistics publication released on 3 June.
