Three years on and three health secretaries later, this is now the longest-running bill in the Parliament—directionless, unworkable and criticised by experts as policy making on the hoof. The Scottish National Party Government is kicking the can down the road, because it knows that the bill is destined to fail.

However, we can deliver the things that will make a real difference to social care right now. We have the power to deliver a right to respite care using the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016; fair pay and ethical commissioning using procurement reform; and Anne’s law through the Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (Requirements for Care Services) Regulations 2011. At a time when people’s care packages are being cut, will the minister stop wasting money and time on a failed bill and make the changes that we all agree with right now?
