The chief executive of the NHS has the second highest salary in the public sector and earns almost twice as much as the prime minister, a list of top earning public sector staff reveals.

Ten other DoH workers were also in the list, including: Sir Liam Donaldson, former chief medical officer (£205,000 - £209,999); Gabriel Scally, regional director of public health (£200,000 - £204,999); and, David Salisbury, director of immunisation (£175,000 - £179,999).
David Cameron recently announced he would take a pay packet of £142,500.
