PLYMOUTH University Hospitals NHS Trust paid out more than £3,000 for one shift during the recent strikes, it has been revealed.
It comes as junior doctors across England are continuing their strike action as the row with the Government over pay continues.
Junior medics – who make up around half of the medical workforce – will continue to strike today, after starting their first-ever joint strike with consultants on Wednesday. Further joint strikes by consultants and junior doctors are planned for October 2, 3 and 4.
It comes after the BBC used Freedom of Information laws to reveal the NHS is having to pay millions of pounds to cover for striking doctors.
In one case, a consultant at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth was paid more than £3,000 to cover a 12.5-hour junior-doctor night shift. Paying for cover is costing hospitals three times more than they save in the wages deducted from striking junior doctors, the study found.
