Item 3 is to decide what level of scrutiny to apply to the Public Health etc (Scotland) Bill. Members will see that the approach paper by the clerks suggests that we adopt level 1 scrutiny, which would involve seeking written evidence from the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities and health boards using our standard questionnaire and sending any completed questionnaires to the lead committee. Do we agree to adopt level 1 scrutiny of the bill?
I have no objection to level 1 scrutiny, but given the way in which the bill is drafted it might also be sensible to seek written evidence from the Royal College of General Practitioners.
Is that agreed?
With that addition, do we agree to adopt level 1 scrutiny of the bill?
