It’s only our money…. NHS ordered to pay sacked Asian professor £450,000 in discrimination case after a colleague accused him of 'playing the race card' The NHS has been ordered to pay nearly £450,000 in compensation to a professor who sued for discrimination after a colleague accused him of 'playing the race card'. Professor Tanweer Ahmed took the health service to an employment tribunal after he was sacked over 'laughable' bullying allegations. The tribunal heard that the £100,000-a-year senior clinical director had tried to fight off historical bullying accusations which were based 'heavily on hearsay'. He branded the accusations 'malicious', but Prof Ahmed - who is Muslim and of a Pakistani background - was dragged through a disciplinary investigation and sacked. The trust's HR boss Martin Rayson moaned he was 'playing the race card'. Earlier this year, the NHS was told to pay over £250,000 to the professor. But now, the amount has been increased to £449,548. Prof Ahmed, in his late 50s, won the compensation after suing United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust for race discrimination, victimisation and unfair dismissal. There were 'so many flaws' in the way the NHS Trust investigated and sacked Prof Ahmed, Employment Judge Victoria Butler ruled. Prof Ahmed joined the Trust in 2003 as its Director of Lincoln Clinical Research Facility, Director of Research Innovation, and was also the chair of the BAME staff network.
