Nicola Sturgeon outlines plans for National Care Service
Nicola Sturgeon has outlined plans for the establishment of a National Care Service, as part of her government's plans for the following year.
The first minister said the new service would arguably be the most significant public service reform since the creation of the National Health Service following World War Two.
Ms Sturgeon confirmed the Scottish government would increase funding for social care by at least £800m.
