The figure includes a settlement of £448,000 paid to Mr Day for an outstanding civil claim that he brought against the Health department over the costs of his suspension after the death of a patient in October 2006.
Chief Minister Ian Gorst says that the huge payout has been made to cover the loss of the private income the surgeon would have had during his suspension, and to cover part of his retraining and legal costs.
The announcement, which follows the details of the £546,337 ‘golden handshake’ given to former States chief executive Bill Ogley when he left the States last year, was made in the States response to a question from St John Constable Phil Rondel.
