Question:
A comment is sought on the pay of senior executives, and particularly that of the Board Medical Director.
Response:
Public sector pay scales in Scotland, including senior executives, are determined by the Scottish Government rather than by individual Health Boards.
Professor Christopher McKenna combines his role as Medical Director with another as a practicing Consultant in Acute Medicine, which involves weekend, evening and on-call shifts at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy. In each role, Professor McKenna is remunerated in line with national terms and conditions.
