NHS boss received nearly £400,000 'redundancy' pay-off when she retired

PSD Scotland started operating in in April, external and was set up to drive changes across the health and care system, and the wider public sector.

It replaced both NHS NSS and another quango called NHS Education for Scotland, whose chief executive Prof Karen Reid is now in charge of PSD Scotland.

Morgan, who earned between £160,000 and £165,000 a year, had been chief executive of NHS NSS since 2021.

BBC Scotland asked NHS NSS on 10 March what would happen with Morgan now her role was defunct.

The health board said the senior NHS executive was "considering her options and next opportunity in line with national workforce policies".
