It is widely expected that the Scottish government's plan for a national care body will be dropped.

Record Political Editor Paul Hutcheon says the SNP Government failure on NCS is symbolic of their inability to deliver public service reform.

A proposal for a national social work agency to provide a national standard for that area of care is also expected to pass. The right to breaks for unpaid carers and new rules on the sharing of information in the care system between health and social care are also expected to remain in the bill.
