Disability discrimination | Employee told his illness 'would not suit the needs of the business'

A recent tribunal has decided that an Essex-based hospital discriminated against an employee with a disability.

The aspiring employee at Harlow's Princess Alexandra Hospital, who has Scheuermann’s disease, severe fibromyalgia and Pars Defect, secured a job as an A&E clerical coordinator at the hospital, a step up from the position he was currently working in.
