Around 800 Scottish public sector workers are being paid for jobs that no longer exist, costing at least £27 million a year, according to a Sunday Times investigation. Staff sit in redeployment pools because of the SNP's ban on compulsory redundancies. Some 255 have waited over a year, and one NHS Highland worker for 17 years. The Scottish Conservatives want the Auditor General to investigate.
