While people are coming into the public gallery, I will press on. Item 1 is consideration of whether to take items 8 and 9 in private. Item 8 deals with the Abolition of Prescription Charges (Scotland) Bill; having the discussion in private would allow us to consider alternative options for the handling of the bill. Item 9 concerns the eating disorders inquiry. It is proposed to take that item in private to allow the committee to have a preliminary discussion about the key themes and recommendations for inclusion in our report. The request for such items to be held in private is fairly standard, so is the committee agreed that items 8 and 9 be held in private?
Members indicated agreement.
