But MSPs have today said that the Scottish First Minister is overstepping the mark and collectively voiced the FM should step down from fronting them after she raised the issue during FMQs today.
They claim Nicola Sturgeon should be replaced by a medical or science expert in the Scottish Government daily briefings, as they could give her an unfair election advantage.
Holyrood is set to be dissolved on March 25, ahead of the elections on May 6 which leaves a six-week pre-election period or purdah period.
During FMQs today, the First Minister referred to when Scottish Labour interim leader Jackie Baillie met with former BBC Scotland director Donalda McKinnon to address the issue.
