I congratulate Paul O’Kane on his appointment as deputy convener, and I look forward very much to working with him.

The next item of business is to decide whether to discuss our work programme in private in this meeting and all future meetings. I will assume that everyone agrees to do that unless a member indicates otherwise.

We are agreed.

Under agenda item 5, the committee is asked to thank the session 5 Health and Sport Committee for its legacy paper. Are members content to note the paper and to agree to consider it as part of our work programme discussions? We are.

I am just going to see whether we have Stephanie Callaghan back, so that she can make her declaration of interests. I am not seeing that she is here, so we might need to suspend briefly.

We can take her declaration of interests in the private part of the meeting. We will make sure that members of the public will be able to see that.

I close the public part of the meeting.
