Interests

Good morning and welcome to the 32nd meeting in 2013 of the Health and Sport Committee. As usual, I remind those present to switch off mobile phones, BlackBerrys and other wireless devices, as they can interfere with the sound system. Members of the public may have noticed that some members and officials are using iPads and tablet devices instead of hard copies of their papers.

We have a continuing apology from Richard Simpson. Malcolm Chisholm is with us as the Labour Party’s substitute.

I give a warm welcome to Colin Keir, who has joined the committee. He has replaced Mark McDonald. The first item on the agenda is to invite Colin to declare any relevant interests, as is usual.

Thank you for your welcome, convener. I have no interests to declare.

Thank you.
