<p>My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State wrote to all Chairs of NHS organisations
on 2 June 2015 setting out a range of measures to ensure executive pay is proportionate
and justifiable. He asked the Chairs urgently to review their policies on executive
pay; to seek the views of Ministers before making any executive appointment paid more
than £142,500 per year; to advise him of all current executive pay more than £142,500
and to provide a justification; to ensure that the HM Treasury guidance on off-payroll
executive appointments is followed rigorously. He also announced his intention of
introducing a limit on the rates payable to off-payroll interim executives; of introducing
a national framework for deciding executive pay throughout the NHS; of clamping down
on executives who retire and then return to NHS employment so that they do not gain
financially from this; and set out his expectation that new redundancy terms should
apply to all executive staff. We are taking this work forward.</p>
