Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Duncan McNeil)

Good morning and welcome to the 12th meeting in 2012 of the Health and Sport Committee. I remind all who are present that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be turned off because they interfere with the sound system.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private items 6 and 7. Item 6 is consideration of the committee’s approach to future scrutiny of issues raised relating to the petitions that we will consider today. Item 7 is consideration of our work programme. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Are we taking item 8 in private, too?

Yes—we agreed at a previous meeting to take item 8 in private.
