It is difficult: when a constituency MSP sits down with the local health board and local authority representatives, they find that the board and the authority tend to blame each other for the people who fall through the net.
In addition to the members whom I welcomed earlier, I welcome Alex Johnstone MSP to the meeting. I note that Brian Adam MSP was also present in anticipation of the item that we are about to consider.
We cannot rely on supermarkets to organise the system; producers must do so.There is a danger that we and MSPs will fall into the trap of thinking of organics as the big growth sector in agriculture.
I note that Adam Ingram and Robin Harper have indicated that they wish to speak. I am also aware that three MSPs who are not members of the committee but who have interests in the Aberdeen area wish to speak.
That presentation was well within the three-minute period and you should be commended.We will now hear from the MSPs who have requested to speak on the issue.
