But new data shows many NHS executives are being given top appraisal marks which are then linked to pay rises.A spokesman added that bosses in a struggling board can still deliver superior or outstanding performance given the range of individual responsibilities for executives in the NHS.
Across all of the boards which responded to the request, the majority of executives got 'fully acceptable' scores and nobody's performance was ranked as 'unacceptable'. In Scotland, health boards are subject to the "NHS Board Performance Escalation Framework" which ranks from one to five, with five being the worst, and it relates to specific problem areas.Ayrshire and Arran
