Quadrupling in "off the books" payments to NHS bosses

Quadrupling in "off the books" payments to NHS bosses The number of hospital bosses being paid large sums “off the books” has quadrupled in one year since a supposed government clampdown.

Last year the Health Secretary ordered a clampdown on “excessive and indefensible rates” being paid to managers on short-term contracts, off the payroll.

The clampdown was ordered after a series of Telegraph investigations highlighted practices which had allowed roving NHS executives to earn up to £3,000 a day.

But new figures show that in 2015/16, 33 requests for “off payroll arrangements” were agreed by NHS regulators – compared with eight the previous year. The Daily Telegraph
