On the phone in: Are you happy to pay more tax for health and social care? Also talking about: silver servers and the Scottish siesta.

PHONE IN: Social Care Tax
The Scottish NHS will receive 拢1.1bn a year from a new health and social care tax, the UK government has said. The tax will be introduced across the UK to pay for reforms to the care sector and NHS funding in England. But a proportion will also be ringfenced and given directly to the Scottish health service. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said health and social care in all parts of the UK would "benefit from significant additional support". And while Scottish Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said the tax rise was a "blunt tool" and called for clarity about the arrangements, he confirmed the extra funds would be spent on health and social care in Scotland.
