The former head of an NHS Trust has been paid more than ?500,000, including legal costs, as part of a severance deal which also stops him discussing patient safety, the BBC has learned.
Gary Walker was sacked as chief executive of the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust in February 2010.
He dropped a claim for unfair dismissal in a deal with the NHS. Supporters say he has been bound by a "super gag".
The Trust said all parties in the case had reached an amicable resolution.
The official reason for his dismissal from the ?140,000-a-year post was that he swore openly at meetings, but supporters have alleged this was a trumped-up charge.
