Beleaguered Michael Matheson was last night accused of going into 'hiding' to avoid scrutiny over his £11,000 iPad data roaming bill. The Health Secretary ducked interviews and steered clear of the Scottish parliament on the day A&E performance hit its lowest level since January. It led to accusations that the controversy over his eye-watering data roaming bill on a trip to Morocco is now impacting on his day job in charge of the NHS.

Scotland's beleaguered Health Secretary ran up an astonishing £7,300 data roaming bill in a single day.

It is a luxury most employees might struggle to squeeze into their busy working weeks. But the Scottish Government has decided to allow its own civil servants to stop working during a weekly 'wellbeing hour'. Officials say allowing staff to take time away from their desks every week will help improve their 'mental and physical wellbeing'. The 'health and wellbeing hour' will allow staff to take an extra 60 minutes off per week, either in one go or split up over several days.

Humza Yousaf’s government was accused of ‘secrecy and cover-up’ yesterday after it finally admitted promoting bogus wind energy statistics for a decade. Nationalists have long boasted that Scotland accounts for 25 per cent of Europe’s offshore energy potential. But in a humiliating climbdown yesterday, it was revealed that the real figure is only 6.8 per cent. In a further humiliation, SNP Energy Secretary Neil Gray was accused of trying to hide the real figure.
