zoal Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 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 circularIt 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. cheersCoI: local NHS Dr. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18192-low-life-scum-at-kings-college-hospital-ae/page/2/#findComment-451738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 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** Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18192-low-life-scum-at-kings-college-hospital-ae/page/2/#findComment-451751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamRose Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 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!
