The European Parliament and Member States voted in December 2008 to adopt a directive on temporary agency work which will see agency workers in the UK receive "equal treatment" compared to permanent staff after being employed for 12 weeks. In May 2009 the Department for Business Innovation and Skills launched a UK government consultation paper on the terms of the directive. NHS Employers will be providing a collective response to the consultation and are asking for views to feed into their response. Responses can be submitted by completing the questionnaire before 17 July 2009. (NHS Employers - news)
