Welcome to this meeting of the Health Committee. Agenda item 1 is consideration of items in private. The committee is asked to consider whether to take agenda items 6 and 7 in private. Item 6 is to review the evidence on the budget process that we will hear from Executive officials. We have adopted the practice of reviewing oral evidence immediately. Item 7 is to consider the timetable and other arrangements for the Abolition of NHS Prescription Charges (Scotland) Bill. Are members content to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
