Not suggesting you do this if it's a customer/patient facing system, but let the system fall over. At the inevitable emergency blame session, sorry solution finding meeting, produce all the emails where you said you needed those staff members signed up as permanent before the management all went on holiday, and then adviser them that those staff have moved on because the management didn't do their jobs.
