FORMER Royal Hobart Hospital chief executive Jane Holden is suing the State Government in a bid to clear her name.
Ms Holden was stood down from her role as the head of Tasmania’s Southern Health Service in June after a damning Integrity Commission Report into nepotism in the health system.
Health Minister Michael Ferguson stressed at the time that the report was not the reason for Ms Holden’s dismissal.
But the former health boss said the Integrity Commission was a “star chamber” and Mr Ferguson’s comments about the report, made under Parliamentary privilege, had destroyed her reputation.
“I have been denied due process and I want to clear my name,” she said yesterday.
