It would be unthinkable for care Promise not to be delivered, says Nicola Sturgeon

Nicola Sturgeon has said it would be “unthinkable” for the Promise not to be delivered.

The former first minister said there was no room for complacency in delivering the goal to improve the lives of young people who have experience of care.

The Glasgow Southside MSP accepted that the legislation to achieve the goal did not have “everything that everyone wants”.

But she encouraged people to back the current proposals and legislate later for more change.

The former first minister chaired a fringe event at the SNP conference in Aberdeen on the subject. It will be her last one as an MSP.

She said at the event: “This is an ongoing discussion, an ongoing challenge, an ongoing promise.

“For me, the first minister who made it, it’s unthinkable that we don’t deliver the Promise.”
