Temporary Convener

David Torrance (Kirkcaldy) (SNP)

Good morning and welcome to the 25th meeting in 2025 of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee. We have received apologies for today’s meeting from the convener, Claire Haughey, and the deputy convener, Paul Sweeney. In the absence of the convener and deputy convener, I am required, as the oldest member of the committee present, to take the chair initially, with a view to appointing a temporary convener for today’s meeting. In this role, I propose to nominate myself as temporary convener for today’s meeting. Are members content for me to act as temporary convener for the remainder of today’s meeting?

Members indicated agreement.
