AN NHS worker has been sacked after allegedly creeping into a restricted area of the Sick Kids Hospital to have a snooze on the job.
The dozy NHS Lothian employee, who the Evening News understands was employed in IT, is said to have been caught napping in a chair inside a ward that was not being used to treat patients at the time.
After he was found asleep an internal NHS Lothian investigation was launched before it was decided that he was to be sacked.
But the worker, who was dismissed in December following the original incident in October, has formally appealed against the decision which, it has been claimed, was an overreaction from health bosses.
