Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning. I welcome members of the committee and members of the public to the 26th 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 interfere with the sound system.
Members of the public might have noticed that some members and officials are using iPads and other tablet devices instead of hard copies of their papers.
This morning, we have received apologies from our convener, Duncan McNeil, and Richard Simpson. Malcolm Chisholm is with us as a Labour Party substitute.
The first item on the agenda today is for members to decide whether to take in private consideration of the committee’s work programme, at today’s meeting—it is item 3 today—and at future meetings. Are members agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
