To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many NHS hospital trust chief executives are on multi-year contracts.

The Department does not hold information on the number of trust chief executives who hold multi-year contracts. National Health Service trust chief executives, like other NHS staff, will typically be employed on permanent contracts.
