Hundreds of managers have walked into new NHS jobs just weeks after pocketing huge redundancy payoffs.
At least 2,200 staff ? mostly bureaucrats ? have been re-employed by a trust after taking voluntary or compulsory redundancy since May 2010.
NHS managers who are made redundant receive one month?s pay for every year served, with the average payout since the general election standing at ?48,000.
Some staff receive hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The total amount spent on payoffs for the 2,200 re-hired staff is not known ? but it is expected to run into the tens of millions.
Astoundingly, Department of Health rules state that managers do not forfeit their redundancy payments if they wait four weeks before taking another NHS job.
Now the Government has admitted that the revolving door for hospital managers is in full swing even as the Health Service rations operations such as hip replacements and cataract surgery to save money.
