An NHS Trust has rejected claims that it fiddled its death rate figures, describing the allegations as an "outrageous slur" on its workforce.
The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust said independently-verified evidence "categorically disproved" the claims made by one of its own employees, Sandra Haynes-Kirkbright.
Mrs Haynes-Kirkbright, a data recorder who is facing disciplinary action after an investigation into her management practices, told the Daily Mail she was "headhunted" by the Trust and asked to "fix" its mortality figures.
Claiming that "every rule in the book" was broken to try to improve mortality rates, Mrs Haynes-Kirkbright also alleged that she was suspended from her post as a senior "health coder" after refusing to take part in a cover-up.
