DHSC evidence for the SSRB: pay round 2024 to 2025

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.
