    The First Minister is right that quality social care matters to all of us. The independent review is a chance to make the right reforms to the system. The review needs to listen first and foremost to the real experience of people, providers and those who work in the system.

    A blue infographic with an icon of a hand holding a heart. White text reads: A fundamental independent review of adult social care by January 2021.
    We want to achieve the highest standard of support and care for people who use adult social care services. We will immediately establish an independent review into adult social care in Scotland, which will include consideration of a Scottish national care service.
