Former Isle of Man chief medic sacked for whistleblowing is awarded £3.2m

Tribunal finds Dr Rosalind Ranson was unfairly dismissed after speaking out on Manx approach to Covid

The Isle of Man’s former chief medical officer has said her career and reputation were “destroyed”, after she was awarded a record £3.2m settlement over her unfair dismissal for whistleblowing.

The island’s chief minister offered his “deepest apologies” to Dr Rosalind Ranson on Tuesday after a tribunal found that she had been forced out of her job and subjected to “humiliation, bullying, harassment and vilification” for whistleblowing over the Manx approach to Covid-19.
