MPs want to stop a Lincolnshire NHS trust taking action against a former manager for breaking a gagging order.
Gary Walker, a former chief executive of United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust, spoke out claiming he was sacked for putting patient safety before targets.
The trust is being investigated over high death rates following the report into failings at Stafford Hospital.
The trust said it wanted to ensure Mr Walker did not break the terms of a legal agreement.
Chairman of the House of Commons Health Committee Stephen Dorrell has written to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt urging him to stop the trust from taking any action which would prevent Mr Walker giving evidence to the committee about his dismissal.
