Good morning and welcome to the Health and Sport Committee’s 14th meeting in 2014. As usual, I ask everyone in the room to switch off mobile phones and other wireless devices, as they can interfere with the sound system and they would certainly interrupt the committee. I ask those attending to note that members and officials are using tablet devices instead of hard copies of their papers.
I have apologies from Nanette Milne and from Jackson Carlaw, who cannot attend the meeting as the Conservative Party’s substitute.
Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private item 4, which is consideration of the committee’s approach to national health service boards budget scrutiny. Such consideration is normally taken in private. Does the committee agree to take item 4 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
