Pay incentives should be used to hire specialist emergency doctors for struggling A&E wards, MPs have suggested. The Public Accounts Committee warned A&E services had been "hampered" by a lack of emergency consultants.
Specially trained emergency care doctors should be enticed to work at struggling hospitals by higher pay, a group of MPs has said.
The influential Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said struggling A&E services had been "hampered" by a lack of consultant care.
They also criticised both the Department of Health and NHS England for not having a "clear strategy for tackling the chronic shortage of A&E consultants".
"Many hospitals, especially those facing the greatest challenges, struggle to fill vacant posts for A&E consultants," the report states.
"There is too great a reliance on temporary staff to fill gaps, which is expensive and does not offer the same quality of service."
