Lead oversight role is paid £178 per hour, based on receiving £20,000 for 15 days’ work, Labour says
Appointees to Whitehall oversight jobs are being paid up to £20,000 for 15 days’ work a year – 14 times more than junior nurses – according to Labour, amid new calls for transparency on ministerial appointments.
The pay of non-executive directors (Neds) has been thrust into the spotlight by Matt Hancock’s affair and resignation after he was found to have appointed Gina Coladangelo to the role at the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) last year.
