Scottish Parliament Health and Community Care Committee Wednesday 22 September 1999 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 11:30]

The Convener (Mrs Margaret Smith):

I now bring the Health and Community Care Committee to order. We are a bit cramped today, so apologies to members of the public who are with us. This is not the best room in which either to serve on or to attend a committee, but that is one of the constraints imposed by the building in which we are working.

There are two items on today's agenda. The first is a discussion of our general priorities, continued from our previous couple of meetings. I think that we have almost reached the end of that, at least for the time being. The second is our plans for considering the Arbuthnott report.
