Alex - I'm sure you are aware the NHS salaries are a matter of public knowledge. they are negotiated by the national bodies and published twice a year - April and (sometimes) october or so.


This is for every sector within the NHS, which for non-medics, was harmonised into a 'banding' system (so called Agenda for Change) from 1-9 (most clinical people 5-7, admin 3-5). The medics are subject to a separate pay circular. EVERY aspect of pay is outlined and described including locum pay (i.e. non-substantive). Pay is essentially according to experience in a given grade, so the longer you work the more your pay (slightly) until you jump up a grade (e.g. from Admin assistant to Admin manager or Registrar to Consultant), which is when pay can increase more significantly (relatively speaking).


Here is the link:

NHS Pay circular


It is true that INDIVIDUAL salaries are not published - and I believe that there should be some discretionary privacy for an individual. Public servants do certainly given enough of their lives without having to have intimate details exposed. Lets face it most people would be only interested in what CEO or medical director earns and not Mr Joe Porter or Dr. X Registrar. Those figures are actually available if you look at the board meeting minutes end of year reports.

Of course the prescriptions for NHS pay are published. I'm NHS-paid myself. To publish these prescriptions is a Good Thing.


How individuals employed by the NHS are paid is veiled. I am not sure that the veiling is a Good Thing; I believe that it may be instead a Bad Thing.


Whether Peckham Rose, as a NHS Trust Governor, can accomplish various goals that she might set out when electioneering is not something on which I can comment. If one of her goals is PUBLISH THEIR SALARIES, however, I shall vote for her. To be disappointed in matters like this won't surprise me overmuch, or embitter me.


I'm rabble, and I'm used to being roused to no purpose. **goes back to checking the DAILY MAIL on-line**

Well it's a good discussion but I am not going for election, indeed have just voted myself on my voting forms for the governors. I believe it's every three years, I may be in a better place then to reconsider. including reconsidering whether I could do a better job than those already in post!

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
