THE Scottish Government was today accused of being "heavy on spin and light on action".
Lib Dem finance spokesman Tavish Scott said since the SNP came to power in May, its cabinet secretaries had commissioned 54 reviews and 79 consultations.
But he claimed that setting up reviews was "simply not good enough".
Mr Scott hit out and
said: "The SNP Government is heavy on spin and light on action. Ministers claim to have ticked off manifesto promises, but in reality all they've done is commission yet another review or consultation.
"This slew of warm words, thinking groups and reviews are simply not good enough."
Mr Scott said health secretary Nicola Sturgeon had said it was "time to stop setting up groups to talk about progress" and instead "time to start making progress".
But he added: "The SNP has proceeded to set up fifty-four reviews and seventy-nine consultations since taking office.
"It is time for the SNP to stop spinning and take some action."
SNP minister for parliamentary business Bruce Crawford hit back, saying: "In a few short months, the SNP Government have taken action right across our policy programme, where the Lib Dems did nothing during their eight years in coalition with Labour."
