	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2014 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence uses a process called “manpower substitution” to engage temporary staff at agreed fixed rates on a national basis through a number of contracts. Manpower substitutes are employed for up to 11 months to fill vacant, funded posts. The majority are brought in to fill medical and dental requirements at military medical centres to cover for military positions that are vacant due to deployment into operational theatre. This enables the medical services to continue to provide the best possible care to members of the Armed Forces.</p><p> </p><p>The five companies most frequently used by the Ministry of Defence in Financial Year 2013-14 to provide temporary workers, and the associated fees paid to each, are presented in the following table:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Company</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Type of worker</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of Temporary Workers</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Fees Paid</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HoneyBee</p></td><td><p>Medical &amp; Dental</p></td><td><p>790</p></td><td><p>£3.46m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>CastleRock Ltd</p></td><td><p>Medical &amp; Dental</p></td><td><p>490</p></td><td><p>£2.61m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Capita Resourcing</p></td><td><p>Interim Professionals</p></td><td><p>320</p></td><td><p>£2.07m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hayes</p></td><td><p>Medical &amp; Dental</p></td><td><p>190</p></td><td><p>£0.59m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Reed</p></td><td><p>Clerical &amp; Admin</p></td><td><p>160</p></td><td><p>£0.11m</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The figures provided for Capita Resourcing cover the period from April 2013 to March 2014.
