You might be surprised. In the NHS the move from contractors to permies is only partly based on cost. There are other factors - maximum permitted headcount (conractors don't count so are brought it to boost the staffig levels above the headcount cap, and that restraint may be removed at some point), revenue expenditure vs capital expenditure (it's easier to 'capitalise' expenditure on contractors). It may be they just have to get rid of the contractors. And the contractors probably know this and may well be moving onto somewhere else in the NHS, and will play ball accordingly - it's a small world.
Or maybe not. Let us know.
