New figures indicate that almost 4,000 staff made redundant from the NHS in England, before last year's major restructuring, have since been re-employed.
Labour asked for the data to be released to Parliament.
The government blamed "unacceptably lax" contracts that allow staff to re-join the NHS a month after redundancy.
It says it's working on tough new plans to cap payouts, and has reduced administrative posts overall.
Labour shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said it would be galling for nurses who were battling over pay to see, as he put it, cheques handed out like confetti.
Auditors have previously reported that the average payout was £43,000.

If they are rejoining then they couldn't have been redundant in the first place
