The TaxPayers’ Alliance has dropped its latest NHS Rich List for the financial year 2023-24. A staggering 1,694 senior NHS managers pocketed over £100,000 in total remuneration, with 279 raking in more than £200,000 annual salaries. Among them is Ajit Abraham, “Group Director of Inclusion and Equity” at Barts Health NHS Trust, taking home £202,500, while the Trust limps in at 106th out of 149 for Referral to Treatment waiting times and 70th out of 136 for A&E waiting times. Brits are running out of patients with this waste…

UK DOGE has seen the breakdown of the list and can exclusively reveal a whopping 185 HR senior managers received over £100,000 in total remuneration, 14 of them on salaries higher than the prime minister (£172,153), and two topping £200,000. That’s at least £18.5 million of taxpayer cash splashed on HR head honchos in the NHS alone. For that you could:

• Hire 571 junior doctors.
• Fund 68,771 ambulance call-outs.
• Treat 8,292 heart failures.

The taxpayer may have a view on which should be prioritised. UK DOGE recommends costs are cut here…
