Scottish Parliament Health and Community Care Committee Tuesday 7 December 1999 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:03]
Good morning and welcome to this meeting of the Health and Community Care Committee.
Before we begin our first item of business, I want to put something on record. We spent some considerable time and effort putting together our robust report on the Arbuthnott report, and I thank committee members for their work. Several members have expressed their concerns about the suggestion that our report may have been leaked, and about some of the comments by special advisers and the attitude of the Executive. As convener, I am taking those matters further with parliamentary officers, and I will meet one of the presiding officers this afternoon to discuss them.
