We move to item 5. A paper that proposes the order in which the committee will consider the Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Bill at stage 2 has been circulated to members. The paper also sets out proposed arrangements for taking oral evidence on the Executive's intended amendment to alter the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care's obligations to carry out annual inspections. I invite members to comment on or question the contents of the paper, if they want to do so.
Motion moved,
That the Health Committee considers the Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Bill at Stage 2 in the following order: sections 9 to 36, schedules 2 and 3, sections 1 to 5, schedule 1, sections 6 to 8, section 37 and the long title.—[Roseanna Cunningham.]
Motion agreed to.
Does the committee also agree to hold an oral evidence session on 17 May, on the Executive's proposal to remove the requirement for annual inspections by the care commission?
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you. That concludes the committee's public business.
Meeting continued in private until 14:46.
