HOSPITAL PAY RISE SCANDAL

Health bosses have been awarding themselves pay rises of up to 150 per cent while their patients are exposed to shocking superbug rates and life-threatening delays in treatment.

At Norfolk and Norwich Hospital NHS Foundation Trust chief executive Paul Forden got a rise of more than 150 per cent from £60,000-£65,000 to £165,000-£170,000 between 2004 and 2008. But between 2002 and 2006 the trust was ranked among the worst in the ­country for deaths from superbugs such as MRSA, with 65 fatalities.
