Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the second meeting in 2017 of the Health and Sport Committee. I ask everyone in the room to ensure that their mobile phones are in silent mode. It is acceptable to use mobile phones for social media, but not to record or film proceedings or to take photographs.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Does the committee agree that its consideration of the evidence it has received on the draft proposal and statement of reasons on the Transplantation (Authorisation of Removal of Organs etc) (Scotland) Bill should be taken in private at future meetings? It is normal practice for the committee to consider in private evidence that has been received. Can we agree to do that, please?

Members indicated agreement.
