Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many staff are employed by the (a) Macfarlane Trust and (b) Caxton Foundation; and what their (i) posts and (ii) current salaries are.
The amount of time that each member of staff spends working on either Macfarlane Trust business or Caxton Foundation business is given in the following table:
| % of time spent on Caxton Foundation | % of time spent on Macfarlane Trust |
Chief Executive | 48 | 48 |
Director of Finance | 27 | 27 |
Finance Assistant | 32 | 32 |
Director of Operations | 47 | 47 |
Support Services Officer | 0 | 100 |
Welfare Assistant | 100 | 0 |
Office Manager | 50 | 50 |
IT Manager | 13 | 13 |
The Caxton Foundation cannot provide details of the salaries of these individuals because salaries are personal information under section 1 of the Data Protection Act 1998. However, as with all charities, the pay bands of the highest paid members of staff are a matter of public record. The Caxton Foundation’s annual report and accounts for 2013-14, state that one member of staff received a salary in the pay band of £70,001 - £80,000. That salary was paid in respect of work for both the Caxton Foundation and the Macfarlane Trust. All employees of who were employed at 1 April 2014 received a 1% salary increase. That is the only pay increase that the Chief Executive has received since her appointment in 2013.
