Superbug Hospital Chief Loses Court Bid for Pounds 175k [Edition 2]

Summary


The hospital boss at the centre of Britain's worst superbug outbreak today lost her Pounds 175,000 compensation claim against the NhS in the high Court.

Rose Gibb had been seeking to make Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells pay her full severance of Pounds 250,000. She left her Pounds 150,000-a-year post as chief executive of the Kent trust in October 2007 after clostridium difficile killed 90 people. The healthcare Commission blamed bad management. Ms Gibb, of Cobham, Kent, was to get Pounds 175,000 in compensation and Pounds 75,000 notice pay. She won only notice pay after health Secretary Alan Johnson intervened. The trust said the deal was irrational, while she claimed it "unjustly enriched itself". Mr Justice Treacy ruled the agreement was void.
