Questions have been raised over Professor Jason Leitch’s role at NHS Tayside after it emerged Scotland’s national clinical director is an employee of the health board.
The under-fire civil servant is employed by the local authority on “standard NHS consultant terms and conditions” and works for the Scottish Government under a “service-level agreement”.
His secondment came to light after a request – under Freedom of Information (FOI) laws – for details of his senior government adviser salary.
