Agenda item 2 is consideration of three negative instruments. Members have before them a cover paper from the clerk that sets out the purpose of each instrument.
Members indicated agreement.
National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/209)
The second instrument amends existing regulations that regulate the terms on which pharmaceutical services are provided under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978. The Subordinate Legislation Committee had no comments to make on it. Are members content with the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
Contaminants in Food (Scotland) Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/215)
The third instrument revokes and re-enacts with changes the Contaminants in Food (Scotland) Regulations 2007, which make provision for the execution and enforcement of various European Commission regulations that set the maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has drawn our attention to the fact that this instrument contains a drafting error and has recommended that the Scottish Government take steps to correct the error. Are members content with the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
Agenda item 3 is consideration of our approach to scrutiny of the 2010-11 budget process. As agreed, this will be taken in private.
