A hospital finance director has been sacked for gross misconduct over financial irregularities at a Yorkshire NHS trust.
Janet Ashby faced an inquiry after it emerged Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust had plunged millions of pounds into the red only weeks after she predicted it would achieve a small surplus.
Bosses have confirmed she has been dismissed from her £100,000-a-year post as director of finance and a report sent to her professional body over her conduct.
It is estimated forensic investigations into what went wrong have cost taxpayers £1.3m after concerns were initially raised by a whistleblower.
