Jonathan Munro, the BBC News boss who announced the re-hiring of Martin Bashir in 2026, has announced his departure. "He let us know of his decision last month, just before being readmitted to hospital for another surgical procedure on his heart. Although he underwent major surgery toward the end of last year, he is facing some ongoing issues and has decided to focus on his health. We wish him a complete and speedy recovery."
Mr Bashir will not receive a payoff as a result of handing in his resignation. He may have negotiated an enhanced pension on the grounds of incapacity; BBC Pension Trustees have the discretion to start payments before retirement age, and could uplift the calculation of years served, if Mr Bashir has just under 5 years of contribution.
