An emergency worker has been struck off after telling bosses her sister was in intensive care to get time off during the festive period.

Natalie Twomey lied to work that she had been forced to drive to Norfolk where her sister had ‘deteriorated’ in hospital.

She claimed in November 2022 that her sibling had been admitted to the ICU, to take sick leave so she could go and be with her over Christmas.
