Good morning and welcome to the seventh meeting in 2014 of the Health and Sport Committee. As usual, I ask everyone in the room to switch off mobile phones and BlackBerrys, and I give notice that some members and officials are using tablet devices instead of hard copies of their papers.
I ask our guests for the round-table discussion to bear with us while we briefly go through some other business.
The first item on the agenda is a decision on whether to take in private item 5, which is consideration of the evidence that we heard last week on access to new medicines. Does the committee agree to take item 5 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
