DHSC register of board members' interests, 2025 to 2026

Published 5 September 2025

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) board and non-ministerial board members are asked to declare any interests or related party interests that are relevant to the work of the department as well as all remunerated outside employment, work and appointments (whether relevant or not).

An individual may have other interests and while the department is aware of these, they are judged to be not relevant to the individuals’ role and therefore not in scope for publication.

All relevant interests are managed by the department to prevent the risk of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest.

Ministers

Ministers’ interests are recorded and published by the Cabinet Office.
