Exposing Britain's NHS Manager Fat Cats

The NHS keeps demanding more money, but patients are still stuck on waiting lists while senior managers take home bumper pay packets. Podcast host Duncan Barkes is joined by the TPA's Jonathan Eida and Anne Strickland to discuss the latest NHS Rich List, which reveals 574 NHS bosses now earn more than the prime minister and the number receiving at least £300,000 in total remuneration has more than doubled in a year. They examine soaring executive pay, poor performance at some of the worst-performing trusts, and why ministers must follow through on promises to link pay to results. From A&E delays to referral-to-treatment waiting times, they ask whether taxpayers and patients are getting value for money from the NHS management class.
