Public Audit Committee

Meeting date: Wednesday, November 5, 2014


Contents


Section 23 Reports


“NHS financial performance 2012/13”


“Management of patients on NHS waiting lists—audit update”

The Convener

I thank the Auditor General and her colleagues. Before you leave, Auditor General, can I ask you one question about the next item on the agenda? We have responses from both the Scottish Government and you. In your response, you say:

“My report on the NHS in Scotland 2013/14 will comment on the number of settlement agreements”—

that includes confidentiality clauses—

“and highlight any concerns raised by local auditors.”

I cannot see any reference to it in the report.

Caroline Gardner

It is not in the report, and we are still planning to report back to you on that issue. We want to take the time to ensure that we have the information absolutely right before it comes to you.

The Convener

Thank you for that. The next item is the consideration of the responses from the Scottish Government and the Auditor General. Members can agree to note the responses, decide whether to take any further evidence or, indeed, refer it to another committee. If there are no comments, do we agree to note the responses?

Members indicated agreement.
