Treasury written question – answered at on 16 January 2013.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he approved the salaries of the (a) Chief Executive, (b) Non-Executive Chairman and (c) the National Directors on the Executive Board of the NHS Commissioning Board.
The Chancellor does not routinely approve senior salaries in the public sector.
They are subject to scrutiny and approval from the appropriate Secretary of State. In May 2010, it was announced that the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, my right hon. Friend Danny Alexander, would be required to sign-off any new appointments, in areas under ministerial control, with a salary over a full-time equivalent of £142,500.
