A whistleblower was "bullied, harassed and blackmailed" after he raised allegations about an ambulance trust covering up evidence of mistakes by paramedics, MPs have heard.
Labour's Grahame Morris added Paul Calvert was offered £41,000 "on condition of his silence in destroying the evidence he has of wrongdoing" linked to the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS).
Health Secretary Sajid Javid expressed concern after the matter was raised in the House of Commons and again indicated the trust faces a "much broader powerful review".
