NHS chiefs were last night accused of an "appalling" waste of taxpayers' money after shelling out £22,000-a-year on a specialist to remove sex change patients' body hair.

Details of the post with Scotland's largest health board come weeks after officials unveiled plans to axe more than 1,000 workers.

An advert says the successful applicant will be paid up to £21,798 a year for "removing" hair from transgender "clients".
