Interests

Good morning, and welcome to the first meeting of the Health and Sport Committee in 2019. I hope that everyone is thoroughly refreshed. If you can still remember Christmas and the new year, congratulations—and welcome back.

I ask everyone in the room to ensure that mobile phones are switched off or to silent, please. We have received apologies from Alex Cole-Hamilton and David Stewart. I welcome Anas Sarwar, who is a substitute for David Stewart. In accordance with section 3 of the “Code of Conduct for Members of the Scottish Parliament”, I invite Anas Sarwar to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit. Any declaration should be brief but sufficiently detailed to make clear the nature of any interests.

I have nothing to declare except that I am a former national health service dentist.

Thank you very much.
