Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 24th meeting in 2008 of the Health and Sport Committee. I remind all present to ensure that mobile phones and BlackBerrys are switched off—I should know.

No apologies have been received, but Richard Simpson and Michael Matheson are running late. That is understandable, given the issue that exists with the trains. Jackie Baillie will join us later, as she is currently giving evidence to the Local Government and Communities Committee. We will allow her to declare any interests at the first appropriate moment after she arrives.

In line with our usual practice for the consideration of a draft response and an approach to an inquiry, the committee is invited to take items 6 and 8 in private. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
