I used to work at Whittington hospital in N19, Doctors locum rates were harmonised across North London, to stop the "You only pay X, I can get Y somewhere else"
IIRC the rates were set based on average rates for the grade, so not necessarily higher than salary rates (not worth quitting a full time job with sick pay and full annual leave rights for)
Nursing is generally the same as their substantive rates, so also not worth doing instead of a permeant role.
Agency rates can be much higher but hospitals generally only use these in a dire staffing emergency and need lots of sign offs.
