An interim Edinburgh Council boss is to leave his job less than a month after he started, after councillors criticised his £160,000 salary.
Alan Adams was brought in to lead the city's adult social care services following the sudden resignation of Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership chief Judith Proctor in May.
Last week a report was presented at a full council meeting which confirmed Mr Adams' temporary appointment - but his six-figure wage raised eyebrows in the chamber.
