An NHS trust has written to staff to insist it does not "suppress debate about patient safety".

Last week the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust was accused by a former chief executive of using a gagging order to halt his concerns about care.

The claims lead Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to brand health bosses' actions as unacceptable.

In an internal memo the trust has said the order related to an employment tribunal only.

Gary Walker was sacked as chief executive in 2010 for for gross professional misconduct for allegedly swearing in a meeting.
