Douglas Ross, the Scots Tory leader, told MSPs that "the man responsible" for the crisis facing the NHS was SNP health secretary Humza Yousaf.
He added: "Humza Yousaf has failed. Just how much worse does it have to get for patients and staff in Scotland before he takes responsibility?"
Swinney fired back: "Yes, there are challenges in the National Health Service but there is a record pay deal on offer from the Scottish Government."
He added: "The United Kingdom Government is not recognising the public spending pressures that exist because of inflation that they have fuelled by their stupid economic decisions.
"As a consequence public budgets are under enormous pressure. So if Douglas Ross wants to make himself useful he can ask the United Kingdom Government to increase the budget for the Scottish Government so we can support the health service to a greater extent and start addressing the issues facing members of the public."
