Dozens of local NHS managers pocket more than the Prime Minister – despite promises to crack down on executive pay.
The Mail on Sunday has discovered that at least 25 bureaucrats at county-level NHS clinical commissioning groups received more than £150,000 in salary and bonuses last year.
According to an analysis of the latest annual reports from CCGs across England, a further 423 individuals were paid more than £100,000, with hundreds more part-time board members earning in excess of Theresa May’s salary on a pro-rata basis.

Many of the managers received six-figure rewards while presiding over cuts such as restricting access to hip surgery or IVF.
Among the highest paid was management consultant James Murray, who received at least £300,000 as chief financial officer
