Russell Findlay calls on John Swinney to ditch plans to create a National Care Service .

He accused the Scottish government of having "wasted" 28 m on the plans to centralise adult social care and social work.

Labour leader Anas Sarwar also called on the first minister to "wake up to reality" and "ditch" the plans.

Health Secretary Neil Gray has suggested he could work with individual councils.

But a patchwork approach by definition doesn't help to level the playing field.

Even SNP-led councils have registered real concerns about the legislation currently on the table.

Some health boards and social care partnerships have pushed back too, as have some third sector groups.
