Scottish Health Secretary Shona Robison will be replaced in the role by Jeane Freeman as part of a major government reshuffle.

The Scottish Government announced the changes that will also see Economy Secretary Keith Brown and Angela Constance leave their positions, on Tuesday.

Transport Minister Humza Yousaf will also be moved to a new role of Justice Secretary.

The government say that the new appointments are designed to meet current challenges, introduce new talent and ensure the government is capitalising on all opportunities in taking forward its "bold and ambitious programme for Scotland".

Five new Cabinet Secretaries have been appointed, with the overall size of the Cabinet increasing to 12 to reflect the increasing impact of Brexit on Scottish Government business, and ensure direct Cabinet oversight of the operational delivery of a new social security system.

As new Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf will lead the delivery of new hate crime laws among other responsibilities.

Jeane Freeman is promoted to become Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport, Shirley-Anne Somerville has been appointed as a dedicated Cabinet Secretary for Social Security and Older People and Aileen Campbell will become Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government.

Derek MacKay and Michael Matheson have been appointed to two key economic posts.

MacKay will become Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Economy and Fair Work and will be supported by a team of ministers including a Minister for Business, Fair Work and Skills alongside new posts of Minister for Public Finance and the Digital Economy, and a Minister for Trade, Investment and Innovation.

Matheson will become Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity.

He will be supported by a new Minister for Energy, Connectivity and the Islands, tasked with delivering 100% superfast broadband across Scotland.

Fergus Ewing will continue as Cabinet Secretary for the Rural Economy and Michael Russell will join the cabinet with responsibility for Government Business and Constitutional Relations, overseeing preparations for the UK's exit from the EU.

John Swinney, Roseanna Cunningham and Fiona Hyslop will remain in their current posts.

Unveiling the new Cabinet line-up, the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said:

"The new Cabinet I am announcing today brings fresh talent to the Scottish Government and ensures that we are fully equipped to meet the challenges and opportunities facing the country in the months and years ahead.

"With the impact of Brexit on our economy and wider society, it is right that the issues it presents are fully reflected at Cabinet level, while the delivery of a new Scottish social security system also requires a voice at the Cabinet table.

"Those appointments, together with the reshaped portfolios announced today, mean that people can have confidence that the Scottish Government will continue to deliver for people, public services and communities the length and breadth of the country.

"People already have high trust in the Scottish Government to look after their interests, and I am determined that this new, refreshed Cabinet will continue to repay that trust.

"I would like to place on record my thanks and gratitude to Keith Brown, Shona Robison and Angela Constance who are leaving Cabinet today for the hard work, commitment and dedication they have brought to the Government. Each of them has achievements that they can be proud of and I know that they will all continue to make a strong contribution to the cause of a better Scotland.

"I will shortly be appointing a fully refreshed junior ministerial team, which will also include a number of fresh faces and a wealth of new talent."

The new appointments will be put to Parliament for approval on Thursday 28 June.
