I would say the NHS is one of the most diverse places in theUK.

It surely is and the BBC is ahead of its own targets so why is cash being wasted in this way?

Her job isn’t diversity tsar though. And that isn’t all she is responsible for. 

 

that statement is there  just to get people angry.

 

I’m not suggesting the salary is justifiable but it’s pretty clear it’s just a story to try and get people wound up.

Any outfit worth its salt has to have a diversity tsar. Ms June Sarpong gets £267,000 a year of your TV licence money for three days a week of diversifying. Were it a full time job, she’d be on more than the Director General.

precisely why i dont pay a licence fee and nor should anyone else, it should be self funding and hopefully it will be soon.

Well, nobody actually has the word ‘tsar’ in their job title. In her case, it’s Director of Creative Diversity.

Agree - especially when dragging up something that happened a couple of years ago.

15 years ago the title would probably have been "Chief Personnel Officer", 5 years ago "Chief Human Resources Officer".

Maybe not - but the diversity thing is just there to wind people up and it’s succeeded.

 

“The new position is part of the NHS Executive Group and will play a leading role in ensuring that NHS in England has enough people, with the right skills and experience to deliver the improvements for patients set out in the Long Term Plan.”

 

it’s also not “new” she’s been there 2 years.

what  a joke and what is worse is that somebody sets these salaries!

If I were you I’d stop buying the DM, it doesn’t do your mental health any favors.

How would you judge a persons worth in the job they are doing?

 

I get paid around £10 an hour, how would you know if I was being over or under paid?

As I said - I don’t know.

Well, given the minimum wage is now £8.91 per hour I'd reckon the odds are you're underpaid.....................
