Good morning and welcome to the 13th meeting in 2014 of the Health and Sport Committee. As usual, I ask everyone in the room to switch off their mobile phones, BlackBerrys and so on, as they can interfere with the sound system and disrupt the committee. Some members and officials are using tablet devices instead of hard copies of their papers.
We have apologies from Nanette Milne and Richard Lyle. Once again, Jackson Carlaw joins us as committee substitute for the Conservative Party and Dennis Robertson joins us as committee substitute for the Scottish National Party. I welcome them both.
