Item in Private

I welcome everyone to this afternoon's meeting of the Health Committee. I have received three apologies. Helen Eadie is unable to attend because of a timing clash with the Edinburgh Tram (Line One) Bill Committee; there is a statutory obligation on her to attend that committee. Duncan McNeil and Shona Robison have also sent their apologies. We will be joined at some point by Kenneth Macintosh, who is the Labour substitute on the Health Committee.

Under item 1 on our agenda, the committee is asked to consider whether to take item 7 in private, to allow consideration of alternative options for the remit and methodology of the care inquiry. Is the committee content that that item be taken in private?

Members indicated agreement.
