Tim Loughton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what are the salaries of the hospital trust chief executives in England, including bonus payments; and what are the terms of their bonus/incentive schemes. [7597]

Mr. Hutton

[holding answer 15 October 2001]: I apologise to the hon. Member for the delay in responding to this question. I refer the hon. Member to the reply that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State gave my hon. Friend the Member for Blackpool, North and Fleetwood (Mrs. Humble) on 5 March 2002, Official Report, column 192W.

Information on the salaries of individual hospital trust chief executives is confidential. National health service trust summarisation schedules for 2000–01 contain information for total remuneration of NHS trust chief executives, which includes basic salary, benefits and performance related bonuses. The basic salary may include compensation for loss of office. The table showing the breakdown of total remuneration by band has been placed in the Library.
