To ask the Scottish Government what steps it has taken to find out what the reasons were for its national care service proposal not going ahead, and what lessons have been learned from this.
The Scottish Government is committed to bringing forward a National Care Service and will deliver vital reform through legislative and non-legislative means, and those with lived experience at the heart of our work.
We have reflected on feedback from people with lived experience, stakeholders and political parties to put forward revised proposals. We have worked to find balance and practical solutions to ensure we can deliver social care reform for the people of Scotland.
