Ah, always nice to see how we can sprinkle some private healthcare services in to save money...
This makes so little sense to me. If you constantly have a nursing shortage, which we seem to, why not hire them into the system? You aren't going to end up hiring too many. How does it make sense to shovel tax dollars to private companies providing exactly the same thing we could get by hiring them directly? But ya, we shoudl probably do more of this, right?

Its funny because I was having this conversation with an Agency Nurse not too long ago and I asked a similar question.
"Why dont you just try and get hired on?"
And she explained to me that she'd rather work as an Agency Nurse. She gets paid more for fewer hours, she gets different duties, sure she doesnt get the Union protection or the Pension but her #1 reason for not wanting to get hired on?
No having to deal with the Bureaucracy.
