NHS hospitals are paying senior managers rates of up to ?570,000 a year each via private agencies, an investigation has revealed.
Former NHS chief executives who retired with multi-million pound pensions and US business executives are among those being paid twice as much as the managers they have replaced.
Ministers have repeatedly pledged to cut down excess spending in the NHS, with a pay freeze last year and promises to clamp down on the use of spending via private agencies.
Yet an investigation by The Daily Telegraph found 24 managers paid rates of more than ?1,000 a day during 2012/13 - including 11 executives on more than ?300,000 a year.
