Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many senior managers in the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust earn over £100,000 a year.
Owing to data protection reasons, individual salaries cannot be disclosed without the individual’s consent. Salaries of directors are published in annual reports in £5k bands. NHS England provides pay guidance for very senior managers at Foundation Trusts which is available at the following link:
https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/guidance-on-pay-for-very-senior-managers/
Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is classified as an ‘extra-large’ acute provider and that Foundation Trusts hold statutory power over pay.
The Department cannot comment on individual trusts and does not hold the information required.
