Items in Private
Good morning and welcome to the third meeting in 2005 of the Scottish Parliament Audit Committee. I am pleased to see so many people in attendance. As usual, I ask that mobile phones and pagers be switched off, because they interfere with the public address system. I welcome representatives of Audit Scotland to the meeting. We have received apologies from Susan Deacon, who has intimated that she will be delayed.
Item 1 is consideration of whether to take items 5 to 9 in private. Item 5 is consideration by the committee of its approach to the section 22 reports by the Auditor General for Scotland that are listed under item 2. Item 6 is consideration by the committee of its approach to the report by the Auditor General entitled "Scottish Prison Service: Correctional opportunities for prisoners". Item 7 is consideration by the committee of arrangements for its inquiry into the section 22 report by the Auditor General entitled "The 2003/04 Audit of the National Galleries of Scotland". Item 8 is consideration by the committee of an issues paper for its inquiry into the section 22 report by the Auditor General entitled "The 2003/04 Audit of Argyll and Clyde Health Board". Item 9 is consideration by the committee of the evidence taken at its previous meeting for its inquiry into the report by the Auditor General entitled "Overview of the financial performance of the NHS in Scotland". Do we agree to take those items in private?
