Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, pictured, has warned of the risks to cross-border healthcare in the event of a Yes vote in the referendum A vote for independence would create a 'Hadrian's Wall of health' between England and Scotland, the medical director of NHS England warns today. Writing exclusively in today's Mail, Professor Sir Bruce Keogh warns of the risks to cross-border healthcare - with 44,000 Scottish patients treated in England last year alone. In a separate warning, Scotland's struggling NHS is facing devastating cutbacks of £450million under the SNP, an explosive secret dossier has revealed. The confidential paper seen by the Scottish Daily Mail, kept under wraps in the run-up to the referendum, shows that health board chiefs are preparing to make huge savings in 2015 and 2016.
