Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether NHS England executives that receive redundancy packages will be eligible to be rehired into civil service roles and retain those redundancy payments.

Ministers and senior Department officials will work with the new transformation team at the top of NHS England, led by Sir Jim Mackey, to determine the structure and requirements of the team required to support the creation of a new centre for health and care.

The Department and NHS England will communicate information about these reforms to staff at the earliest opportunity and are committed to a culture of transparency.
