Items in Private
I bring the meeting to order and thank everyone for their attendance.
I want to deal as quickly as possible with agenda item 1, which is to consider whether to take items 4, 5 and 6 in private. Item 4 will be a discussion of evidence that we have received today. Such discussions normally take place in private as they are, in effect, part of consideration of our draft stage 1 report. Item 5 will be continuation of our consideration of the draft report on our eating disorders inquiry and item 6 is to discuss the arrangements for the workforce planning event in the chamber that we are trying to organise.
There is an issue about the order of the agenda but, before we deal with that, I want to get the committee's agreement to take those three items in private. Is everyone happy with that?
Members indicated agreement.
I now ask for the committee's agreement to take items 5 and 6 out of order. Due to the weather conditions that resulted in the closure of Edinburgh airport this morning, the witnesses from the Skipton Fund are seriously delayed and cannot get here at the originally scheduled time. Therefore, I propose that we rearrange the agenda by taking items 5 and 6 out of order. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
