I agree that CEOs of public sector organisations should have a very strong link between their total renumeration and how well the organisation is performing. And there are NHS CEOs who deserve to be fired based on recent reports for their Hospital.
But the core issue here, is that the UK’s PM is shockingly underpaid relative to the importance and complexity of the job.
The average salary for a FTSE-100 CEO is over £4 million per year. So well over 20 times the PM’s salary!

The article is silly, it’s comparing the salaries and performance of executives at specialist hospitals, to large general hospitals.
Specialist hospitals have the advantage of just performing routine treatments in a specialist area which is much more production line than the kind of work general hospitals deal with, on top of the fact that general hospitals are obviously larger and have to deal with much more varied and often more complex cases, so the directors will be paid more than the ones of specialist hospitals.
They’re just not comparable. You can’t compare the performance of a cancer hospital that just slaps people on radiotherapy machines and zaps them to a hospital that has to deal with emergency cases.
I only point it out because I noticed basically most of the top ten were all specialist hospitals, which makes sense since running a specialist hospital is just overall easier.

Why are there **any** “CEOs” of hospitals? NHS needs centralising. Badly.

200k sounds pretty appropriate for the position of CEO of a hospital.
