Item 1 is to decide whether to take various items in private. First, the committee is asked whether items 2 and 4 should be taken in private. Item 2 is the consideration of lines of questioning of today's witnesses. Item 4 is consideration of the evidence taken once the witness session is complete. Do we agree to take those items in private?
Secondly, as we decided at our last meeting, there will be two further evidence-taking sessions in relation to the national health service inquiry. The committee is asked to consider whether it should take items dealing with lines of questioning and consideration of evidence at those meetings in private. Doing so should contribute to the smooth running of those meetings. Are we agreed so to do?
I stress that those items are specifically matters of internal housekeeping and their content will be made public during the following stages of the inquiry. We now move into private.
