THE former leader of Jersey’s health service received an exit payment of £60,000 to £65,000 last year, it has emerged.
Caroline Landon’s payment for “loss of office” was revealed in the States Annual Report and Accounts for 2023, which was published on Friday, and revealed that exit payments across the organisation totalled more than £500,000.
Ms Landon left her director-general role two weeks after her departure was announced, alongside that of chief nurse Rose Naylor, in March 2023.
This followed an expert report highlighting systemic issues and alleging a ‘Jersey Way’ within Health, and the chief executive investigating allegations of departmental bullying, and preceded a damning review which found hundreds of rheumatology patients had been wrongly prescribed powerful drugs.
