More than 300 NHS workers in the North East who were paid off in the reorganisation of the health service have since been re-employed, ministers have admitted.
The “revolving door” was condemned by opposition MPs, who said changes to the NHS had led to payouts for many managers who were then re-hired.
NHS bodies such as regional health authorities and primary care trusts were abolished by the Coalition, with a new national body called NHS England created to commission services nationally, while GPs created local Clinical Commissioning Groups across the country.
But the changes led to some staff effectively moving between organisations - while receiving redundancy packages along the way.

What a waste
