Three month NHS gig

[BolshieBastard]

I would if rates were high enough to offset the risk, but from what I see NHS rates are dropping. I got a call today from an agent with an urgent requirement for for 5 PMs with NHS experience paying an almighty £250/day.

Needless to say I politely declined.

IMO, it wouldnt offset the risk because once you've raised your head above the hmrc twat's parapet, you'll be in their sights.

In any event, unless you have a very niche skillset, you wont get a big enough rate as you have recently discovered. Hence, why im turning down any agent request regarding these contacts.

Just my opinion though.

Agree with BB () - public sector contractors are now to HMR&C what a herd of wildebeests is to a lion

Yes he is contractor specialist.

If this is true then no body in their right mind will take any NHS contract paying more then 200 pd isn't it ?!.. Mad!!

Exactly... simply take the fact you are under IR35 into account when figuring out what rate you want. If they won't pay it, work elsewhere.
