A high number of equal pay claims in the Scottish health service means it faces a "financial timebomb", opposition parties have claimed.

There are 10,035 cases outstanding against health boards across the country, the Scottish government said.

Labour and the Conservatives have demanded action is taken quickly to deal with the cases.

The NHS said the cases were "unlikely" to succeed and insisted suggestions they had to be settled were misleading.
