Over 16,500 NHS staff in Scotland have been signed off work with mental health problems in the past two years, health board figures show.
There were 8,540 staff signed off in 2013/14 - up 7% on the 7,975 signed off in 2012/13, the figures obtained by the Liberal Democrats show.
Lib Dem health spokesman Jim Hume said the figures demonstrate the SNP's "woeful" record on mental health as Holyrood prepares to debate the issue today.
