Days after being told he will lose his job in just four weeks, North East Ambulance Service whistleblower Paul Calvert has launched a Crowdfunder as he looks to challenge his treatment.
Paul was told on Monday that his employment will be terminated in four week's time. He said that while the reason cited for this is that "there has been an irreconcilable breakdown in the employment relationship and an irretrievable loss of trust and confidence between both parties", he believes that his dismissal is as a result of whistleblowing.
After news of Paul's dismissal broke, a NEAS spokesperson said: "It is important to us that our staff can speak up to highlight concerns" and added that they had tried to support Paul back to work but were "unable to find a path for his return".
