The next item on the agenda is consideration of Executive responses. The first instrument is the Health Technology Board for Scotland Order 2000, for which we have received a response and a legal briefing. There seems to be some question whether aspects of the legislation are ultra vires, in particular the attempted subversion of the use of section 15(1) of the Scotland Act 1998. That matter has not been properly addressed and the recommendation is to draw that point to the lead committee's attention.
