Items in Private
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the eighth meeting in 2005 of the Scottish Parliament Audit Committee. I welcome the Auditor General and his team from Audit Scotland, as well as members of the committee. We have received apologies from Robin Harper, who cannot be with us this morning. No other apologies have been received. As usual, we have some important items on our agenda. I remind members to switch off mobile phones and pagers.
Item 1 on the agenda is to seek the committee's agreement to take agenda items 4, 5 and 6 in private. Item 4 is to enable the committee to consider its approach to the report by the Auditor General for Scotland entitled "A review of bowel cancer services: An early diagnosis". Item 5 is to enable the committee to consider a draft report on our inquiry into the section 22 report by the Auditor General entitled "The 2003/04 Audit of the National Galleries of Scotland". Item 6 is to enable the committee to consider a draft report on our inquiry into the report by the Auditor General entitled "Overview of the financial performance of the NHS in Scotland 2003/04". It is our standard practice to take draft reports in private. It is also suggested that we discuss in private concerns arising from the briefing that we receive on bowel cancer services. Do we agree to take agenda items 4, 5 and 6 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
