Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish the terms and conditions for non-executive board member appointments agreed to by Alan Milburn.

We will not be publishing personal appointment letters, which include terms and conditions of appointment, sent to Departmental non-executive board members. The terms and conditions are in line with those for other public appointments made by the Department and include the need to abide by Cabinet Office’s Code of Conduct for Board Members of Public Bodies.

The role of board members, their salary, time commitment and political activity are all already in the public domain.
