Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning, colleagues. I welcome the press and the public to the meeting. I also welcome the Auditor General for Scotland and his staff from Audit Scotland. I ask everyone in the room to ensure that their mobile phones and pagers are switched off. We have a full complement of members so there are no apologies.
Later, under agenda item 7, we will have an opportunity to discuss our approach to the Auditor General for Scotland's reports "Managing long-term conditions", "Primary care out-of-hours services" and "Dealing with offending by young people". We might discuss whether to undertake an inquiry into any of those reports and consider areas of interest, including which witnesses to call, if any, in the event of an inquiry. As members are aware from previous meetings, it is the norm to take such agenda items in private so that discussions about potential witnesses do not go into the public domain too early.
Are we agreed to take item 7 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
