The chief executive of a struggling hospital trust spent £50,000 on an NHS credit card in a previous job, it is claimed.
Phil Morley, boss of Princess Alexandra Hospital Trust (PAHT) in Harlow which serves Epping Forest, spent the money between 2011 and April this year while in charge of Hull and East Yorkshire Hospital Trust.
He joined PAHT, where corporate credit cards are not held by individual trust executives, having resigned from his previous role in April.
Last week it emerged the PAHT was in financial difficulty and had been reported to the health secretary due to a deficit of £16.5m in 2013/14 and a planned deficit of £11.5m for 2014/15.
