Items in Private
I welcome everyone to the fifth meeting this year of the Audit Committee. In this important meeting, we will prepare a couple of reports. First of all, I remind members to set an example and switch off their mobile phones and pagers. We have as yet received no apologies.
In the first agenda item, I seek the committee's agreement to take in private items 2 and 3 and to take in private at our next meeting consideration of a draft report on our inquiry into the Auditor General for Scotland's report "Overview of the financial performance of the NHS in Scotland 2003/04" and of an issues paper on our inquiry into the Auditor General for Scotland's section 22 report "The 2003/04 Audit of the National Galleries of Scotland". I should say that, in item 2, we will consider the draft report on our inquiry into the Auditor General's section 22 report "The 2003/04 Audit of Argyll and Clyde Health Board". In item 3, we will consider a draft report on our inquiry into the Auditor General's reports "Commissioning community care services for older people" and "Adapting to the future: Management of community equipment and adaptations".
The question is, that we take items 2 and 3 in private and that, at the next meeting, we take in private consideration of the draft report and the issues paper that I have just mentioned. Are members agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
We will now move into private.
Meeting continued in private until 12:38.
