Good afternoon. I ask everybody to take their seats. No apologies have been received, so we move immediately to item 1 on our agenda, which is to ask the committee to agree to take in private agenda item 5. That will allow us to review today's evidence—which will assist the clerks in drafting a report—and to consider the need for follow-up action. Our discussion will not be for the purpose of taking decisions but to allow an immediate review of the evidence. Members are also asked to agree to take in private similar discussions following future evidence-taking sessions in our care inquiry.
We have had discussions before about whether to take items in private, and the committee has tended to feel that we should. You have just confirmed that we will not be taking any decisions during today's private session. Will you confirm that no decisions will be made during future private sessions?
That is confirmed. The purpose is to review the evidence, to comment on it, and to consider whether it gives rise to anything that we have to follow up on.
