Summary

Description

The Government has set out its clear commitment to improved transparency about how it spends public money. This includes details of the size and shape of public bodies and about the remuneration provided to senior public servants. The organisational chart and staff pay data files include the names, grade, job titles and annual pay rates for the most senior NHS IC staff with salaries higher than the lowest permissible in Pay Band 2 of the Senior Civil Servant (SCS) pay scale. It is currently expected that this information will be refreshed every 6 months. Note on recruitment restrictions The government has implemented a series of spending restrictions designed to deliver efficiencies across departments and arms length bodies. These include a moratorium on external recruitment except where posts are required for front-line services or are business critical. Such exceptions require sponsor approval and the number of exceptions is published as part of the transparency agenda (see links below). We operate strict controls to ensure that external recruitment only occurs when necessary to maintain service delivery.
