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
