Mr Robin Williams holds the following positions within Department/National Health Service organisations:

Chair of NHS Property Services Limited (NHS PS)

He receives a directors’ fee of £60,000 per annum, less any tax and/or National Insurance contributions payable monthly in arrears for this role. He is required to devote 10 days a month to this role. He was appointed in April 2014.

Non-Executive Chair of NHS Professionals Limited (NHSP)

He receives a directors’ fee of £60,000 per annum, less any tax and or National Insurance contribution payable monthly in arrears for this role. He is required to devote 8 days a month to this role. He was appointed in January 2010.

The workload on both posts is such that the time commitment is the monthly average over the year. On his appointment to NHS PS, he formally confirmed his other commitments did not prevent him fulfilling his contractual obligations to NHSP.
