4.7 Board of Directors’ employment terms<br />

<strong>The</strong> appointment of the Chief Executive is made by the Non-Executive Directors <strong>and</strong> approved by<br />

the Council of Governors. <strong>The</strong> Chief Executive <strong>and</strong> Executive Directors have a contract with no<br />

time limit, <strong>and</strong> the contract can be terminated by either party with three months’ notice. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

contracts are subject to usual employment legislation.<br />

Executive Directors are nominated for re-appointment by a committee comprising the Chairman<br />

<strong>and</strong> Non-Executive Directors with the Chief Executive <strong>and</strong> the Trust’s Constitution sets out the<br />

circumstances under which a Director may be disqualified from office. New Chief Executives <strong>and</strong><br />

Non-Executive Directors are nominated for appointment by a Joint Nominations Committee<br />

comprised of Governors <strong>and</strong> Non-Executive Directors. <strong>The</strong> Remuneration Committee agrees the<br />

Executive Director appointments <strong>and</strong> the Council of Governors approves the Non-Executive<br />

Director appointments.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Committee recognises that Executive pay does not reflect market levels <strong>and</strong> therefore in order<br />

to recruit <strong>and</strong> retain high calibre Executives, the Committee is actively exploring ways of redressing<br />

this balance.<br />

Information subject to audit<br />

<strong>The</strong> information subject to audit, which includes senior manager’s salaries, compensations, non<br />

cash benefits, pension, compensations <strong>and</strong> retention of earnings for non-executive directors, is set<br />

out in the table below.<br />
