Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Duncan McNeil)

Good morning and welcome to the 24th meeting of the Health and Sport Committee in 2013. Please turn off all mobile phones and BlackBerrys as they can often interfere with the sound system. Some members are working from iPads. They mean no disrespect by doing so; they are not checking emails or anything like that.

Under the first item on our agenda, I seek members’ agreement to take item 3 in private. The item concerns the consideration of potential candidates for the post of budget adviser. I also seek members’ agreement to take in private future consideration of our approach to the budget, as is normal practice—that will likely happen next week—and of our report to the Finance Committee when we reach that stage. Do members agree?

Members indicated agreement.
