One of the NHS Band 6 Administrator's duties could be terminating and disciplining employees. If that will be one of your duties, that should have been mentioned in the job announcement. The interviewers ask this question to see if you have experience with terminating employees and, if so, how it went. They want to know you can handle this job duty professionally and compassionately.
Focus on being honest with the interviewers. If you have terminated employees, describe your experience. If you have not let an employee go, explain the steps you would take when that time comes. If you have specific training on terminating employees, highlight that in your response. If you have not directly released an employee but were present as a neutral third party during the termination, describe your role in that experience.

"Yes, I have been present at an employee's termination as a neutral third party along with the employee and HR. While it is not a fun part of the job, the experience went well because I had performed my due diligence and had documentation of the employee's behavior and offenses that led up to the termination. Since I documented everything correctly, the employee realized they were not discriminated against and understood why they were being let go."
