Business Motion
The next item of business is consideration of business motion S6M-10622, in the name of George Adam, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, setting out a timetable for the stage 3 consideration of the Patient Safety Commissioner for Scotland Bill. I ask any member who wishes to speak against the motion to press their request-to-speak button now, and I invite the minister to move the motion.
Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer—I have been waiting in anticipation for 50 minutes for this.
Motion moved,

Groups 1 to 3: 40 minutes
Groups 4 to 6: 1 hour 20 minutes
Groups 7 to 9: 2 hours
