A doctor quit his place on the board of NHS Tayside last week blaming in part a breakdown in relations with its chair over a recent breast cancer treatment controversy.
Dr Norman Pratt, a non-executive member of the board and up until last week the head of its area clinical forum, listed a number of complaints as his reasons for quitting his post at a hybrid meeting held last Friday.
Dr Pratt claimed the forum had not received enough support to carry out its core functions and suggested chairs of other advisory committees had been expected to contribute to its work without any added assistance.
