NHS Execs more diverse
There are more black and minority ethnic staff in senior positions in the NHS than at any point in its history, according to an annual report into race equality across the NHS. The NHS Workforce Race Equality Standard for 2023 shows ethnic minority representation at very senior manager pay bands has risen by more than half (61.7%) since 2018, from 201 to 325 in 2023 – the highest on record. Ethnic minority representation at executive board level has also increased to more than one in ten of executive roles (11%) – up from 9% in 2021.
