Items in Private
Good morning and welcome to this morning's meeting of the Health and Community Care Committee.
Under agenda item 1, the committee will consider whether to discuss items 4 to 13 in private, for a range of reasons. I think that that is the highest number of items that we have ever had to discuss in private session.
On the public health inquiry, we want to discuss the potential remit and the witnesses. We want to discuss cancer services in Scotland in private for the same reason. On hospital acquired infections, Arbuthnott allocations and the health plan, we have points to raise with the Executive.
We have a request from the Finance Committee to consider what we can do to assist with its inquiry into the private finance initiative. We have to consider our forward work plan, the proposed mental health legislation—including the potential requirement for an adviser—and our draft report on fuel poverty.
Do members agree to discuss agenda items 4 to 13 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
