Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland (Practice and Procedure) (No 2) Amendment Rules 2008 (SSI 2008/396)

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the Health and Sport Committee's first meeting in 2009, in session 3. I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year. I remind all members and people in the public gallery to switch off mobile phones and BlackBerrys. Apologies have been received from Jackie Baillie.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of one statutory instrument that is subject to the negative procedure. The instrument amends various rules that govern the operation of the Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland. The Subordinate Legislation Committee did not draw the rules to our attention. No comments have been received from members, and no motion to annul has been lodged. Do we agree that the committee wishes to make no recommendation on the rules?

Members indicated agreement.
