NHS Providers were invited by NHS England (NHSE) to share evidence, feedback and insight we have from our members in relation to:

• members’ approaches to NED and chair remuneration since 2019 (when the remuneration alignment framework first applied)
• NED and chair morale and motivation (and by extension the potential impact on recruitment and retention of high calibre individuals to these roles)

The anonymised evidence submitted draws on NHS Providers survey responses and discussions with leaders from member trusts and foundation trusts. It is intended to support NHSE’s work on NED and chair remuneration.
