Font Size:

The chief executive of Lloyds Banking Group, António Horta-Osório, declared himself fully recovered on Thursday following his two-month absence from work, brought on, he said, after he did not sleep for five consecutive days.

The 47-year-old Portuguese-born banker admitted he took medical advice and checked himself into a Priory Group clinic because of the extent of his sleep deprivation.
