What is an exit package in NHS accounts?

Every NHS trust and foundation trust must publish an "exit packages" note in its Annual Report and Accounts, in England under the DHSC Group Accounting Manual and in Wales under the Welsh Government's equivalent accounting framework: how many staff left on compulsory redundancy or another agreed departure that year, grouped into cost bands, and the total cost. We have located and sourced 159 of 247 trusts' 2024/25 notes so far, 2,795 exit packages totalling £51m+ across the 158 trusts that state a combined total, 2024/25 (4 trusts latest-published 2023/24); a further 1 trust discloses figures in narrative form only and is listed below but excluded from these totals.

Coverage, honestly

159 of 247 NHS trusts and foundation trusts have a published exit-packages note we could locate and source (as at 26 August 2026).87 trusts' notes were not locatable online at all (often blocked by the trust's own website security, or a legacy organisation since merged, not evidence the note does not exist) and 1 more had a report we found but could not machine-read a table from; both are omitted below rather than estimated. We never extrapolate the missing trusts' figures from the ones we have. We add trusts as sources become available; see each row's source link for what it is based on.

Methodology

We searched each trust's own published Annual Report and Accounts for the "Exit packages" note (usually in the Remuneration or Staff Report, headed "Reporting of compensation schemes: exit packages"), fetching the primary PDF rather than a secondary summary, for the 2024/25 financial year. Where a 2024/25 report was not yet available we recorded the trust's most recent disclosed figure (2023/24) and say so in that row. Every row carries the source URL, a page reference and the date we retrieved it; we do not infer or round a figure that is not stated in the document itself. This is information compiled from trusts' own published accounts and is not legal advice.

Licensing: NHS trust annual reports and accounts are Crown copyright, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. We reproduce the counts and cost totals under that licence; check each trust's own report for its exact terms.

Reporting a correction: if you believe a row is wrong or out of date, email [email protected] with the trust name and a link to the current report. We take the row down while we check it, rather than leave a disputed figure live.

Councils, universities and civil-service departments

The same "exit packages" style disclosure appears in council accounts (under the Accounts and Audit Regulations), university financial statements, and civil-service department annual reports. NHS trusts are the first edition of this dataset; the other three sectors are not yet built here. See the council redundancy policy dataset for the equivalent local-government picture (a different disclosure: policy terms, not exit-package counts).

Offered an exit package with a settlement agreement?

A settlement agreement is only binding once you have had independent legal advice on it. Your employer will usually contribute towards the cost of that advice.
