Remuneration and related undertaking:
Until May 2016 I was a pharmacist with NHS Highland (of Pharmacy department, New Craigs Hospital, Leachkin Road, Inverness, IV3 8NP). I was on unpaid leave from February until May 2016. I expect to receive up to £500, for earned pensions contributions and remaining holidays, for 2016. I previously earned £25,000 to £30,000 per annum. I may need to undertake work as a pharmacist in the future to remain registered but this may not involve paid work.
Gifts:
On 24 February 2017 myself and a guest attended the Scotland v Wales women and under 20’s matches at Cumbernauld. On 25 February 2017 we attended the Scotland v Wales match at Murrayfield. Both events were as hospitality guests of the SRU (Scottish Rugby Union, BT Murrayfield, Edinburgh, EH12 5PJ). The value of each ticket was £10 and £95 respectively. The total combined value of the tickets was £210. I estimate that the cost of hospitality was £495 per person plus VAT, the total combined estimated value of the hospitality was £990 plus VAT.
