There is anecdotal evidence of increasing waiting times in some areas. We do not know whether or not this is due to an increase in referrals or in the prevalence of mental health conditions but will be seeking further information by commissioning a survey into the prevalence of mental illness in children and young people.</p><p> </p><p><br> <br></p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb question first answered 28/10/2014 14:48:00 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb

uin	208403
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Government has been clear that senior staff must set an example of pay restraint. The latest independent report on executive pay in the National Health Service from Incomes Data Services shows that for the third year running median salary increases for non-medical executive directors in the NHS were zero.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The policy of this and previous Governments is to allow NHS foundation trusts freedom to set their own rates of pay for their executive directors, based on the assessment of their independent remuneration committees of what is necessary to recruit, retain and motivate these staff. NHS trusts, as organisations seeking to achieve foundation trust status, are subject to oversight of their performance by the NHS Trust Development Authority (TDA). This includes scrutiny of their executive pay. The TDA has obtained information from all NHS trusts on the numbers of staff paid more than £100,000 per annum and the pay of staff in five executive positions also over £100,000. They have used this information to benchmark the data against comparable organisations. NHS trusts are advised by TDA to bring salaries which are outside the normal range, in line with this range when filling any future vacancies.</p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 10/09/2014 13:14:05 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what guidance his Department issues on whether pay increases at NHS trusts should be linked to the performance of hospitals at those trusts.
tabling member constituency	Southend West
tabling member printed	Mr David Amess
uin	208404
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The pay of all staff in NHS trusts and NHS foundation trusts on medical and dental or Agenda for Change terms and conditions is determined by national contracts. The government decided that all staff this year and next should receive at least 1% additional pay through annual incremental pay progression or through a non-consolidated addition. The award of any additional pay for staff on Agenda for Change terms is subject to staff meeting locally agreed performance standards which may be linked to organisational performance. The government and NHS Employers are negotiating with the British Medical Association with the aim of linking pay more effectively to performance in the contracts of medical staff. NHS trusts and foundation trusts have freedom to set their own rates of pay for their executive directors on the advice of their independent remuneration committees and their pay may include a performance-related element. However, the latest independent survey of NHS Boardroom pay from Incomes Data Services indicates that few NHS trusts or foundation trusts award performance-related bonuses to their executive staff.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 10/09/2014 12:15:17 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
