Decision on Taking Business in Private
I welcome members of the press, witnesses and members of the public to this meeting of the Scottish Parliament Public Audit Committee and ask both them and committee members to ensure that their mobile phones are off.
Before we start and while we are still fresh, I want to thank everyone involved in organising today’s meeting. It is only the second time this session that a parliamentary committee has gone outwith Holyrood for a day of fact finding and a meeting; it takes a great deal to organise all that and we owe our thanks to everyone who helped to set it all up. In particular, on behalf of all my colleagues I want to put on record our thanks to everyone involved in the series of visits that the committee undertook this morning and about which we are going to hear reports. We have received apologies from George Adam, who cannot be with us, and Humza Yousaf, who is running a bit late but will join us later on.
The first item on our agenda is a decision whether to take in private item 4, in which we will decide how we proceed on the “Cardiology services” report that we are considering. Are members agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
