To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the salaries (a) with and (b) without pension contributions for the Chief Executive and Chair of each NHS trust in Scotland for each year since 1992–93. [76115]

[holding answer 15 March 1999]: The information requested is published and can be obtained from the individual trust Annual Report. Chief Executives who are members of the NHS pension scheme pay the same rate of contribution as other NHS staff.

The level of remuneration paid to Chairmen of NHS Trusts is determined by legislation and has been unchanged since 1992. The payments made, which are not eligible for pension contribution, are set out in the attached table according to the financial year in which the Trust was established.

From 1 July 1999, this will be a matter for the Scottish Parliament.
