Mr Rennie says if the government had kept its bed blocking promise four years Mr Dawson would not be in the situation he finds himself.

The Scottish Lib Dem leader says there have been two million unnecessary bed stays since the promise to stop this practice was made by ministers.

The first minister pledges to look into Mr Dawson's case and points out delayed discharges have come down overall.

Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie says Douglas Dawson has been stuck in a care home for 18 months because his local authority is unable to provide a care package.

He is now faced being charged for 24 hour care he does not need or want, says Mr Rennie.

Ms Sturgeon suggests the member share details of this case with the government so the health secretary can look into this.

She points to efforts made to ensure people are placed in the best care setting for them.

Green MSP Mark Ruskell asks what action the first minister will take to ensure Amazon in Dunfermline bring in fair work practices.

SNP MSP Gail Ross raises the potential impact of changes to US export tariffs.

Ms Sturgeon agrees the news is "profoundly worrying" for sectors including Scotch whisky and confirms she has pressed the UK government to support a negotiated settlement.

Ms Sturgeon says she will reflect very carefully on this issue raised by Richard Leonard.

"It is my expectation that health boards properly take into account recommendations, like this one," she adds.

The firsts minister agrees it is important to listen to the lived experience of patients and their families.

Ms Sturgeon says she expects NHS Tayside to take on board recommendations made by David Strang.

As we receive the final recommendations, she says these will be taken with the "utmost seriousness" by the Scottish government.

Mr Leonard quotes Gillian Murray, whose uncle took his own life, who says things at NHS Tayside are getting worse and not better.

Your expectation is not being met, he tells the first minister, and he urges the Scottish government to step in "before more lives are needlessly lost".

Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard asks what has been done about the recommendations made in May from Dr David Strang's report into mental health services in Tayside.

The first minister explains discussions are continuing on this issue.

Mr Leonard says Dr Strang made just one recommendation calling for a comprehensive review of mental health services, which has failed to happen.

He goes on to say that what is worse is the fact changes are now being made before the review has been completed.

Why is there no urgency, he asks.

The Scottish Conservative interim leader says the European Commission has not rushed to judgement and are examining the new plan.

The SNP doesn't want a deal and it not prepared to respect the result of the referendum, he states.

Isn't it time we got this done, he insists.

The first minister says she does not see any indication that the proposals will be accepted by the EU.

She also states it breaks a number of promises to Northern Ireland.

The "real shame" is a first minster who is willing to conspire to make Jeremy Corbyn the prime minister, hits back Mr Carlaw.

The Scottish Conservative interim leader insists he wants a deal and supports a deal, but the first minister won't vote for one.

Ms Sturgeon says she wants Scotland to stay in the EU, because it is the best option and what Scotland voted for.

She points out that Jackson Carlaw used to agree a no-deal should be avoided at all cost, but now he "does whatever Boris Johnson tells him to do".

"Jackson Carlaw does not have a shred of credibility left," the first minister concludes.

The prospect of Jeremy Corbyn as prime minister, to which this first minister is “disgracefully open”, is worrying says Mr Carlaw.

The first minister repeatedly says she will do anything possible to stop no-deal, yet her MPs have not voted for a deal he states.

“My alternative to no-deal is no Brexit, that is what the people of Scotland voted for,” Ms Sturgeon hits back.

She accuses Mr Carlaw of "abandoning the Scottish people" by backing withdrawing opposition to a no deal.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he has made a "genuine attempt to bridge the chasm" in order to get a fresh Brexit deal with the EU.

He told MPs his plan - which would see Northern Ireland stay in the European single market for goods but leave the customs union - "represent a compromise".

However, Mr Johnson said they were "some way from a resolution".

Jeremy Corbyn criticised the "unrealistic and damaging proposals".

And the European Commission has said there are "problematic points" in the UK's proposal and "further work is needed".

Scottish Conservative interim leader Jackson Carlaw says he supports the deal the UK government has offered to the EU and asks why doesn't the first minister.

"Jackson Carlaw will vote for whatever Boris Johnson tells Jackson Carlaw to vote for," replies the first minister.

Ms Sturgeon says the deal breaks all of the promises made to Ireland at the start of the Brexit process

She says the proposals will take Scotland out of the EU, the single market and the customs union "against its will".

"I won't support something like that because Scotland does not support something like that," Ms Sturgeon adds.

Children's Minister Maree Todd says the government is investing an additional £2bn in early learning and childcare (ELC) to deliver 1,140 free hours.

Over 46,000 two and three years olds are already benefiting from extra funding for ELC she adds.

Ms Martin seeks an update on the estate required for the expansion.

£476m is being invested in facilities, replies Ms Todd.

She also highlights facilities will benefit from a business rate relief.
