Agenda item 3 is an evidence-taking session with the Scottish Football Association. I welcome to the meeting Ian Maxwell, the organisations’ chief executive.

We will move straight to questions. I call Sandesh Gulhane.

Nicola Gordon wants to respond briefly to David Torrance’s previous question.

I call Paul Sweeney.

Emma Harper has a supplementary.

I thank the witnesses for their attendance today. At next week’s meeting, we will continue our inquiry into healthcare in remote and rural areas with a further panel of witnesses as well as taking evidence from the chief executive of the Scottish Football Association.

That concludes the public part of today’s meeting.

Good morning, and welcome to the 38th meeting in 2023 of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee. I have received no apologies.

The first item on our agenda is to decide whether to take items 4 and 5 in private. Are members agreed?

We have lost you. I think that you are muted again.

That is fine—thank you.

I am sorry, but we will have to move on. We have already run over time.

I call Ruth Maguire to ask about our final theme.

I call Tess White.
