Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 11th meeting in 2012 of the Health and Sport Committee. I remind all who are present that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be turned off as they interfere with the sound system.

Apologies have been received from Jackson Carlaw, so I welcome Nanette Milne, who joins us this morning as his substitute.

The first item on the agenda is to decide whether to take in private item 7, which is consideration of the main themes arising from evidence that we have received during our integration of health and social care inquiry, and to take in private consideration of the draft report of the inquiry at future meetings. Do members agree?

In keeping with our aim of being open and transparent, we should take item 7 in public.

Does the committee agree to that?

Members indicated agreement.

Is that also agreement to the second part, which is that the draft report be considered in private at future meetings?

Yes.
