A woman has been awarded £832,000 in a sexual harassment and sex discrimination case involving an NHS trust.
Helen Marks was the Director of Workforce and Organisational Development at Derbyshire NHS Trust and earned just under £100,000 a year.
The Employment Tribunal heard evidence that while she was working there she was approached by the Chair of the Trust, Mr Alan Baines, to have a sexual relationship with him. She said that when she declined his advances, he called her a whore and proceeded to bully and sexually harass her.
