I have one final final question. [Laughter.] I promise it will be very quick. You twice mentioned at the start of this meeting the importance of “this committee”. Which committee were you talking about?

There might well be overlap, but it is better to have overlap than to miss something.

This session is fascinating and we could go on for hours. Would you mind if we go 10 minutes over? Is everybody comfortable if we do that?

We will speak to the parkie.

I call Brian Whittle.

Have you got time to take one small supplementary question from Alex Rowley?

We have included in our long Covid report a request that the Scottish Government update this committee on the network’s work, its delivery, its priority as a health and social care matter and the data sharing. We are already looking at that.

That is all the clarification that I needed.

Good morning, and welcome to the 11th meeting in 2023 of the Covid-19 Recovery Committee.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. As this is Stuart McMillan’s first meeting as a new committee member, I welcome him to the committee and invite him to declare any registrable interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.

I think that this will be a fascinating session. When do you expect the final report to be published?

I will now bring in other committee members.
