Good morning and welcome to the 26th meeting of the Health and Sport Committee in 2014.
I intimate apologies from Richard Lyle. Dennis Robertson, the Scottish National Party substitute, is with us again today. I welcome him.
I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones, as they risk interfering with the proceedings. I also point out that some committee members and some of our support staff are using tablet devices instead of hard-copy papers.
The first item on our agenda is a decision on whether to take in private item 3, which is consideration of our draft report on health inequalities. Does the committee agree to do that?
Members indicated agreement.
