DHSC evidence for the SSRB: pay round 2025 to 2026
Evidence submitted to the Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) by the Department of Health and Social Care for the 2025 to 2026 pay round.
▤ Verbatim text from source document
The Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) has been asked to make a pay recommendation on the current levels of pay for very senior managers (VSMs) in the NHS and executive and senior managers (ESMs) in DHSC’s arm’s length bodies (ALBs).
The written evidence seeks to enable the SSRB to make independent observations on the levels of pay of VSMs and ESMs to form part of the wider SSRB report, which will include observations on the levels of pay for other senior public sector workers. The written evidence includes information on NHS senior pay strategy along with recruitment and retention information.
