The NHS is to begin funding the specialist nurses who care for motor neurone disease (MND) patients in Scotland.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will also pledge to double the number of specialist nurses, who are currently paid for through charity donations.
She made the decision within weeks of meeting MND campaigner Gordon Aikman.
Mr Aikman, 29, was diagnosed with the incurable condition last year, when he was working for Better Together.
