Hospital Parking (Charges) (PE967)

I do not expect item 5 on our agenda to take terribly long. Petition PE967, by Louise MacLeod, is on charges for car parking at hospitals and has been formally submitted to the committee.

Following a decision taken at our evidence session on 6 June, we will discuss car parking charges in the private session that will shortly follow the public session of this meeting. I therefore propose—unless committee members want to comment now—that we should simply roll our consideration of the petition into that private discussion.

Members indicated agreement.

We have agreed to consider PE967 as part of the committee's inquiry into car parking at Scottish hospitals, which we will discuss at item 6 on our agenda.

Meeting continued in private until 16:08.
