Salaries of NHS bosses who back increment freeze
Twelve senior NHS managers wrote to the Health Service Journal on Tuesday saying that staff should have their annual increments frozen for two years as part of a government cost-cutting programme.
The deal offered is that in exchange for the increment freeze, there will be no redundancies at Pay Band 6 or lower.
There is no such guarantee on offer for those on higher grades.
In effect this means that anyone on Pay Band 7 which starts at just £30,460 will be at risk of redundancy.
The increment freeze will come in addition to a two year pay freeze already imposed on NHS staff.
The managers say in their letter: ‘it is important that there is a considered debate about the issues based upon accurate information and we are seeking to encourage employers to have that debate with their staff and their staff sides’.
In the interests of providing accurate information and to encourage just such debate, here are the current salaries of all 12 signatories.

Keep in mind that we have already had a pay freeze in effect. Keep in mind that we are already paid a lot less than Nurses in other first world countries. Keep in mind that we have a much heavier workload than Nurses in other first world countries because of poor RN to patient ratios. You wouldn't believe how many thousands of pounds I have had to pay out to childminders during the course of my career to watch my children during hours I worked that I never got paid for. Keep all this in mind. What kind of state would the NHS be in if they didn't exploit their frontline professionals?
