SOCIAL care minister Maree Todd has said she is "absolutely committed" to delivering a new National Care Service, amid ongoing delays.
Earlier this week, Todd sent a letter to Holyrood's Health Committee confirming stage two of the Bill will no longer start on November 26, as planned.
Instead, she said a new timetable for the National Care Service (Scotland) Bill will be agreed in the new year.
It came after unions working in the care sector and local government body Cosla withdrew its support for the Bill which is opposed by all opposition parties at Holyrood.
