Items in Private
Good morning and welcome to this morning's meeting of the Health and Community Care Committee.
The first item on our agenda is consideration of whether to take some items—agenda items 2, 3, 4 and 5—in private, for a variety of reasons. Item 2 concerns committee procedures; that will involve discussion of how the committee's work has progressed and how we can improve. John Forbes will attend for item 3, which concerns the Arbuthnott report. To enable us to have a full discussion on the final version of that report, it would be best to take that item in private. Item 4 is Richard Simpson's draft report on influenza vaccination. As with all previous draft reports, we will discuss that report in private. Item 5 concerns the budget; that is similar to a draft report in that we have to make a report back. Our discussion will take the form of an update on the minister's response. Does anyone have any comments, or are we agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you. We move to item 2.
