Interests

The Convener (Duncan McNeil)

Good morning and welcome to the seventh meeting in 2016 of the Health and Sport Committee. As usual at this point, I ask the people who are with us not to use mobile phones because they interfere with the committee’s proceedings. I also ask people to note that many members are using tablet devices instead of hard copies of the papers.

The first item on our agenda is a declaration of interests. I welcome Fiona McLeod as a new member of the committee. Before I invite her to declare any relevant interests, I record my appreciation for and thanks to—I am sure that I speak for the committee—Bob Doris, who has left the committee. I will feel a bit nervous this morning: Bob Doris was on my shoulder throughout his time on this and a previous committee. He was deputy convener for a number of years, so I feel a bit strange this morning.

I invite Fiona McLeod to declare any relevant interests.

I have no relevant interests to declare, convener. I am grateful to be back on the committee, even if just to cover for Bob Doris’s paternity leave.

Thank you.
