The inappropriate conduct of a sleepy senior health department director delayed the opening of Tasmania’s first hospital helipad, preventing an emergency landing. 

An integrity commission report released on Tuesday found Simon Foster also intimidated staff and stole items from the Tasmanian Health Service (THS) including old doors and lighting.
