November 2014 £500,049.93
December 2014 £568,418.24
January 2015 £400,052.71

Grand Total (over 10 months): £6,003,273.07

This leads to the following unanswered questions:

1) In return for over £6 million spent on temporary staff over the last 10 months what has Wirral Council received in return?

2) Wouldn’t it be far cheaper to recruit to these positions than pay agency staff to do the work?

3) Why is so much being spent on agency staff by the Law, HR & Asset Management Department?

4) Are any of the temporary staff hired through agencies former Wirral Council staff who left in recent years in return for redundancy payments?

  1. Reblogged this on Karl Mercer for Independent Councillor of Seacombe and commented:

    Over £6 million spent on temporary staff over the last 10 months surly a better and cheaper way could be found.

  2. G’day John

    Just going back to my previous comments about the LGA Chronicle Awards if you look at their site Wirral don’t get a mention.

    If you look at the local rubbish propaganda thing they are God’s gift.

    Ooroo

    James

    Blackburn and Darwen get a mention probably because Gra Gra left.

  3. Then i wonder why i can’t go in to my local library because its closed most days of the week,

  4. Once again, outstanding work Brace. Really outstanding! My response? I’ve no idea how ‘we’, the people who are funding this madness, can ever halt this slide.
    There’s no bloody stopping them! No amount of nudging, kicking and spitting in their direction seems to have any impact upon this bureaucratic monstrous beast of burden that’s designed to eat, consume and devour all that we throw at it.
    It’s truly desperate when they can do all these things, claim its good governance, then tell us that it’s saving us all huge chunks of cash and then rub our noses in it all and claim, our transformation from bloody ‘abnormal’ to bloody wonderful is now complete.

    1. You write far more eloquently than myself, but the role of the press is more to highlight these matters.

      It’s then up to politicians & officers as to how they wish to respond to knowing this information. If the public wish to use this information to ask their representatives to do something about issue X, that is up to them.
