Yes, but the point is the same. They're not expenses in the sense that it's £44M of posh lunches. Staff for an office are counted as expenses, so it's still real people doing work.
And it's also not necessarily the case that if staffing costs go from £90M to £105M that everyone's just had a 17% payrise while nurses are striking - the number of staff will likely be different.
The headline figures in the tweet are so without detail or nuance as to be useless.

As above, not MPs in general, specifically members of the cabinet.
