Items in Private

I open the 14th meeting of the Audit Committee this year and welcome members. We have received apologies from Margaret Jamieson, who cannot make today's meeting. I welcome the Auditor General for Scotland and his team from Audit Scotland, as well as members of the public and press. I remind members to switch off pagers and mobile phones, as they interfere with the public address system.

Our first item is to agree to take items 4 to 7 in private. Item 4 is consideration of the committee's approach to the Auditor General's report on the overview of the performance of transport in Scotland. Item 5 is consideration of arrangements for the inquiry into the Auditor General's report on relocation. Item 6 is consideration of a draft report on the inquiry into the Auditor General's report on implementing the national health service consultant contract. Item 7 is consideration of the arrangements for an inquiry into the Auditor General's report on community planning partnerships. We normally take all such aspects of the committee's work in private.

Is it agreed that we take items 4 to 7 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
