Mr. Dorrell
The chairmanship and non-executive directorships of NHS trusts are not salaried posts, although chairmen and non-executive directors receive remuneration for their services. Remuneration, though taxable, is not pensionable. The rates of remuneration from 1 December are given in table 1. Chairmen and directors are also entitled to claim travel and subsistence allowances, the current rates of which are given in table 2. The timing of the next review of remuneration and allowances has yet to be decided.
