Former NHS chief receives 'scandalous' pay-off

Former NHS chief receives 'scandalous' pay-off - Guardian

Extract:

"A pay-off of almost £500,000 to a former NHS chief executive has been uncovered today through a freedom of information request.

Health Service Journal obtained the information that Chris Town received a redundancy package worth £480,000 - four times his salary - following the reconfiguration of the Greater Peterborough primary care trust.

At the time, Mr Town was interim chief executive at the neighbouring Cambridgeshire trust but was offered redundancy after failing to secure that permanent job or one in Peterborough.

Mr Town said: "I got a small redundancy sum of around £20,000 to £25,000 and the rest is in my pension. I worked all of my life for the NHS and had a contract that said if I was made redundant for whatever reason over the age of 50, I would get benefits like being able to get my pension early."

'Twas ever thus: - The NHS exists for the benefit of its professional staff and for political reasons. Patients are not a priority.
