Agenda item 5 is car parking charges in Scottish hospitals. Committee members might remember that, as far back as 6 June, we had a round-table discussion about Scottish hospital car parking schemes. At that time, I wrote to the Scottish Executive to raise concerns that arose during the discussion. Our papers contain a copy of the correspondence between the committee and the Minister for Health and Community Care. I invite members to note the minister's response to us. That ends our business in public.
Meeting continued in private until 16:10.
