The former boss of a Kent NHS trust Rose Gibb has been awarded more than £190,000 in damages.

She left her £150,000 a year chief executive post in October 2007 days before the release of a report into a clostridium difficile outbreak at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust where 90 people were killed but went to the Court of Appeal in a legal battle over her severance pay. Families involved in the outbreak have called the payout an "outrage".
