Convener

Good morning and welcome to the 14th meeting of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee in 2023. We have received apologies from Stephanie Callaghan; James Dornan is joining us remotely as a substitute.

The first item on our agenda is to choose a new convener, the procedure for which is explained in paper 1 for the meeting. Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish National Party are eligible for nomination as convener of this committee, so I invite members of that party to nominate one of their number for the post.

I propose Clare Haughey as convener.

Do members agree to choose Clare Haughey as our convener?

Members indicated agreement.

I congratulate Clare Haughey on her appointment as convener of this committee. I will now vacate the chair and pass over to Clare. In order to make that as seamless as possible, we will briefly suspend.
