Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the fourth meeting in 2017 of the Health and Sport Committee. I ask everyone in the room to ensure that their mobile phones are on silent. It is acceptable to use mobile devices for social media, but please do not take photographs or film proceedings.

As can be seen from our agenda, items 1 and 2 were held in private. We have covered those items, so we now move on to agenda item 3. Do we agree to consider in private under item 7 and at future meetings a draft letter to the Scottish health council? Such items are usually taken in private.

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you.

I understand that one of our witnesses has been delayed—I do not know whether it is because of a travel issue or something else—so I suggest that I suspend the meeting until he arrives. Do members agree to that? I hope that it will be a short suspension.

Members indicated agreement.
