Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what remuneration each of the NHSU Executive will receive; how many other staff will be employed at the NHSU and at what annual cost; and what the annual expenditure for the NHSU will be in each year between 2003 to 2006. - Inc figure.

Answer: Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what remuneration each of the NHSU executive will receive; how many other staff will be employed at the NHSU and at what annual cost; and what the annual expenditure for the NHSU will be in each year between 2003 to 2006. [96120] Mr. Hutton: The remuneration of the chief executive designate of the NHS University (NHSU) was advertised at around £100,000. The remuneration for the remaining NHSU directors falls into the NHS senior manager's Pay Range 1 of between £56,790 to £107, 395 per annum. The structure and organisation of NHSU is currently out for consultation. We are therefore unable to provide exact figures and costs relating to how many staff will be employed at the NHSU and the annual cost. Further information about the NHSU structure will be published in their first strategic plan, available later this year. The annual budget for the NHSU for 2003-04 to 2005-06 has not yet been finalised.
