Dr Rosalind Ranson won her claim of unfair dismissal as a result of whistleblowing against the Department of Health and Social Care last year.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's 'File on 4' programme, she discussed the behaviour she experienced after raising concerns over government's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.

She highlighted a number of issues discussed during the tribunal, including her belief that the Island should have closed the borders sooner, the behaviour of the then-chief executive of the DHSC and the handling of the Island's vaccine rollout.
