Items in Private

Good morning and welcome to the fourth meeting in 2005 of the Audit Committee. I remind members to turn off their mobile phones and pagers and I welcome members of Audit Scotland, the public and press to the meeting. We have received no apologies. Andrew Welsh is not here, but I presume that he is coming, because we have not heard otherwise.

Item 1 is to consider taking items 4, 5 and 6 in private. Item 4 is to enable the committee to consider the evidence taken under agenda item 3 on the section 22 report by the Auditor General for Scotland entitled "The 2003/04 Audit of the National Galleries of Scotland"; item 5 is to enable the committee to consider written evidence on its inquiry into the report by the Auditor General entitled "Overview of the financial performance of the NHS in Scotland"; and item 6 is to enable the committee to consider a draft report on its inquiry into the reports by the Auditor General entitled "Commissioning community care services for older people" and "Adapting to the future: Management of community equipment and adaptations". The question for the committee is whether we agree to take those items in private.

Members indicated agreement.
