Proposed Palliative Care Bill

The Convener:

Item 2 is consideration of Gil Paterson's statement of reasons why the case for his proposed palliative care bill has already been established. I am sure that members have read the papers on this item. We can either agree that we are satisfied with the reasons given by Gil Paterson for not consulting on the draft proposal or agree to take oral evidence from him on 22 April. Do members have any comments?

The committee should be satisfied with the reasons given.

Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Right. I suspend proceedings until the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing arrives.

Meeting suspended.
