I am writing with regard to your letter dated 20 September 1998. I hasten to add. I agree with you that nurses need to be paid well, but feel that agencies have a responsibility to charge fair prices to their clients. All professional agencies would vote for fair pay increases for nurses and would urge the pay review body to award them. I do not feel, however, that agencies such as yours should take it upon themselves to encourage others to charge such high rates, as you are trying to do in your letter to all independent agencies.
Most agencies strive to offer a professional, effective service to both their clients and nurses.
I feel that all agencies should do the same. These pages maintained by Nigel Freeney UK Nursing Web Sites Limited. All rights reserved.
