Kate Forbes has signalled she could halt the creation of a National Care Service if she wins the race to become the next SNP leader.
In a scathing assessment of the flagship legislation, which will centralise care services in a bid to drive up standards, she said it could not be delivered unless it first won the confidence of the public.
The creation of a National Care Service has been driven by health secretary Humza Yousaf, who is one of Forbes' two rivals in the SNP leadership contest.
