Items in Private

I draw to order the Audit Committee's 12th meeting of 2004, to which I am pleased to welcome the Auditor General for Scotland and his team from Audit Scotland, as well as visiting clerks from the National Assembly for Wales, who will observe our proceedings. I remind members of the usual need to switch off mobile phones and pagers. We have no apologies.

Agenda item 1 is to ask whether the committee agrees to take in private items 4 and 5. Item 4 is consideration of the evidence that has been taken on the Auditor General's report entitled "Better equipped to care? Follow-up report on managing medical equipment". Item 5 is consideration of a draft report on our inquiry into the Auditor General's report entitled "Overview of the National Health Service in Scotland 2002/03". Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
