Holyrood to rule on health boss post
Dr Charles Winstanley, the chairman of the NHS Lothian board, is approaching the end of his second term in office.
It is understood that Dr Winstanley was keen to continue in the role for a third term, although the Scottish Government will make the final decision. The post was advertised last year, as is standard procedure. At what could have been his last NHS Lothian board meeting, Dr Winstanley thanked fellow board members and paid tribute to NHS Lothian staff.
