Levels of harassment have increased at a Kent hospital trust that was at the centre of a bullying scandal, according to staff.

An NHS staff survey showed that 22% of workers at Medway NHS Foundation Trust said they were harassed or abused by colleagues in 2011, up 2% from 2010.

The trust said it was disappointing and bullying was "insidious".

In 2011 former Medway NHS medical director Gulzar Mufti spoke out about a culture of bullying at the trust.

Mr Mufti, who worked at the organisation for 20 years, criticised the trust after an independent report backed his bullying complaint.
