Mary Morgan, the former chief executive of NHS National Services Scotland, received a redundancy payment of £378,000 upon her retirement after 44 years in the health service. This payment aligns with her contractual terms and follows the merger of NHS NSS into a new organization, Public Services Delivery Scotland, which began operating in April.
The redundancy payout comes as Scotland's NHS prepares for significant restructuring, potentially reducing the number of health boards from 14 to two. This overhaul aims to streamline operations within the health and care system.
