Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Gillian Martin)

Welcome to the first joint meeting in 2023 of the members of the Criminal Justice Committee, the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee and the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. We will be considering the progress that has been made in implementing the recommendations of the Scottish Drug Deaths Taskforce report.

We are joined by a selection of members from each of the committees, but we have also received apologies from the following members who usually like to join us: Miles Briggs, Foysol Choudhury and Sue Webber. Pauline McNeill is attending the meeting, too; she is joining us online.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Do members agree to take item 3 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
