Responding to Mr Neil's claims, Scottish Labour health spokesman Neil Findlay dismissed the Health Secretary's position as "absolute fantasy".

He said: "This is more like a crisis document. Alex has been hiding half a billion pounds in cuts - when was he going to tell us about this? I wouldn't trust him to open a box of elastoplast."

John Brown wrote: Undecided voters should watch and learn as Yes supporters display the 'fair and open' society they profess to want by verbally abusing and shouting down anyone whose views they do not want to hear. They have done it time and again in this campaign; from politicians to journalists to anyone else they disagree with. Don't let our country set foot on the slippery slope of nationalism.

Linda Hall emailed: Does anyone out there really believe that Cameron/Miliband/Clegg, even if they wanted to, are capable of delivering on this absurd pledge for more powers for Scotland post the 18th? Their backbenchers will never ever wear it and it will disappear into the Westminster long grass and life will just return to normal, which is what we get if we vote No.

Health Secretary Alex Neil has accused former Prime Minister Gordon Brown of "talking mince" about the future of the NHS in Scotland.

Speaking on Scotland 2014, he also claimed the documents shown to the BBC detailing a £400m funding gap at NHS Scotland had been available from health boards since the budget was passed in February.

He said: "This is not cost cutting, they are efficiency savings and the difference between north and south of the border is we reinvest the money in the health service."

The Sunday Herald political editor Tom Gordon reckons that after the three polls tonight the Yes side "need to convert about 70,000 No voters to win (on 80% turnout)".

Central to the Scottish independence referendum debate today is the pledge signed by David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg to devolve more powers to the Scottish Parliament in the event of a No vote, and a promise of sharing of resources and preserving the Barnett funding formula.

The Barnett formula is the method used to determine the distribution of public spending around the UK.

However, in an interview with BBC Radio 4's World Tonight programme, Lord Barnett, who set up the system in 1978 when he was chief secretary to the Treasury, said it was "grossly unfair" and repeated his call for it be scrapped.

Alex Salmond told David Dimbleby he believes the overwhelming view of people in England if Scotland gained independence would be to "wish them well" whether they agreed with the decision or not.

Alex Salmond told David Dimbleby in his TV interview he believes negotiations can be positive following a Yes vote.

"This is the land of Adam Smith and he developed the concept of enlightened self-interest," he said.

"Smith said that deals were done and struck and people acted economically because of their self-interest which could contribute to mutual self-interest.

"England is Scotland's largest trading partner and Scotland is England's second largest trading partner after the USA.

"Therefore it is in self interests of both Scotland and England and the rest of the UK to get on with each other."

Three new polls, by Opinium for the Daily Telegraph, ICM for the Scotsman, and Survation for the Daily Mail suggested the "No" vote held a slender lead going into the final day of campaigning. With undecided voters excluded, all three polls suggested a lead for No of 52% to 48%.

The full breakdown of the Opinium poll was 49% for No, 45% for Yes and 6% undecided, while the ICM survey was 45% No, 41% Yes and 14% undecided. The Survation poll had Yes 44%, No 48% and Undecided 8%.

The former US President Bill Clinton has urged Scots to vote No in Thursday's independence referendum.

In a statement released by the Clinton Foundation, he reveals why he wants Scotland to remain part of the Union.

He said the proposal to keep the pound as its currency without the support that UK membership provides carries "substantial risks" and adds separation will "require a long complex negotiating process with considerable uncertainty and potential to weaken the Scottish economy".

He also argues "the increased autonomy promised Scotland by the UK provides most of the benefits of independence and avoids the downside risks".

He concludes: "Unity with maximum self-determination sends a powerful message to a world torn by identity conflicts that it is possible to respect our differences while living and working together. This is the great challenge of our time. The Scots can show us how to meet it."
