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!

    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
