The First Minister had initially claimed a disciplinary process against the disgraced former health secretary was 'prejudiced'.

John Swinney has been accused of putting the SNP before Scotland by trying to protect Michael Matheson instead of focusing on issues facing the country.

Anas Sarwar pressed Swinney again on the scandal today and accused the him of caring more about defending the former SNP minister than cutting waiting times. "But yet again the SNP hold Scotland to a lower standard, and believe it’s one rule for them and one rule for everyone else. He added: "I’m sorry for the amount of time people are having to wait for treatment. We are reducing the longest waits, we’re making headway on that."“Every day John Swinney spends putting the SNP before Scotland has consequences for our NHS,” he said.
