Items in Private
I welcome the Auditor General for Scotland and his team from Audit Scotland, committee members, the press and the public to the Audit Committee's 15th meeting of 2006. I remind everyone to turn off their pagers and mobile phones so that they do not interfere with the public address system. We have apologies from Susan Deacon, who cannot make the meeting, unfortunately. Otherwise, no apologies have been received, although Margaret Smith is usually delayed, as she has a meeting to attend before this one.
Item 1 is to seek the committee's approval to take items 2, 3, 4 and 8 in private. Item 2 is consideration of a draft report on our inquiry into the Auditor General's report "Implementing the NHS consultant contract in Scotland". Item 3 is consideration of a draft report on the inquiry into the Auditor General's report on the implementation of the teachers agreement. Item 4 is consideration of arrangements for our inquiry into the Auditor General's report on relocation. Item 8 is consideration of our approach to the Auditor General's section 22 reports that we will hear about later—the 2005-06 audits of Argyll and Clyde NHS Board, Lanarkshire NHS Board, Western Isles NHS Board and Highland NHS Board. Do we agree to take those items in private?
