Channel 4 News: NHS body spends £14,600 on staff motivation
Matthew Elliott, Chief Executive of the Taxpayers’ Alliance, said taxpayers expected the health budget to be spent on patient care, not award ceremonies and away days.
“The stark contrast between different PCTs is revealing, many appear to cope just fine without spending thousands of pounds on congratulatory backslapping events,” he said.
“Maintaining staff morale doesn’t have to cost the earth, team building can easily take place in the office without the need to spend a fortune on transport and venue hire.”
