Yes that's the gist of it Joe as reported by the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee :-
A report by the Public Accounts Committee highlights that the NHS spent £2.6billion on agency staff last year, a rise of a quarter compared with 2012/13. Hospital bosses who spoke to the committee admitted that a rising number of doctors and nurses are choosing careers as ‘professional temporary locums’.
Just for reference here's the other thread about greedy doctors which I think Joe is referring to
