SURGEON SHORTAGE WARNING: MEDIC BRAIN DRAIN

DOCTORS are leaving the NHS in Scotland as a result of a ban on bonuses, the Scottish Government has been warned.

NHS chiefs and SNP ministers are split over claims the abolition of distinction awards for experienced consultants is leading to a shortage of top doctors here.

Alex Salmond's administration scrapped awards for new entrants in 2010 amid concern over their generosity.

A "B" award gives a consultant an extra £31,959 a year while a "A" doles out £55,924 more.

An "A+", the highest award for excellence, results in £75,889 a year on top of salary.
