A report by the TaxPayers' Alliance reveals that over 300 quango bosses in the UK received salaries exceeding that of the prime minister, raising alarms about financial oversight. Quangos, which are taxpayer-funded but operate independently, include significant organizations like NHS England and Channel 4. Following recent government changes, Sir Keir Starmer eliminated NHS England, and a broader review of quangos is underway to tackle bureaucratic inefficiencies. The study emphasizes the need for transparency and scrutiny of these high earners, with calls for re-evaluation of their roles and responsibilities in government services.
Taxpayers will be shocked to hear that there are hundreds of quangocrats heading up bodies they may never have heard taking home massive pay packets the average Brit can only dream of.
The TPA backed the Labour government's review of quangos and urged more focus on scrapping unnecessary functions and bringing delivery of significant services back under political control.
Over 300 quango bosses received a higher salary than the prime minister last year, highlighting a significant disparity in government pay structures.
Sir Keir Starmer axed the biggest quango, NHS England, last month, reflecting a commitment to reduce bureaucratic waste and inefficiency in government.
