A hospital chief executive has been paid almost half a million pounds in compensation after he fainted in his office and claimed he could no longer work because of stress.
Roger Tarver, 68, was awarded a ?370,000 lump sum ? plus ?24,000 a year for life ? after claiming the stress of the job left him psychologically scarred and damaged his heart.
His payout from an official NHS compensation scheme for work-related injuries dwarfs that given to many soldiers who have sustained horrendous battlefield wounds fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
