Thousands of NHS managers and other staff have been rehired by the health service after receiving payoffs - with more than 400 back on the payroll within weeks of taking redundancy, MPs have heard.

Figures disclosed to the Commons Health Select committee reveal that 19,000 staff were given redundancy payments under the Government's reorganisation of the NHS - and almost one in five of them has since returned.

Under the terms, at least 2,300 managers received six figure exit packages.
The highest sum of ?605,000 went to an NHS executive whose husband also received a pay-off, of ?345,000 in March, before both were then hired elsewhere in the health service.
