The Social Partnership Forum (which comprises the Department of
Health, NHS Employers and NHS Trade Union) published, on 2
September, a nationally applicable Mutually Agreed Resignation
Scheme (MARS). The purpose is to assist Trusts in cost and
workforce reduction, service redesign and efficiency needs. The
scheme will allow employees to agree with their employer to leave
Trust employment on specified terms.
We have prepared a briefing note which considers how in practice
this will work and the options available. Click here to view.
