Health, Social Care and Sport Committee

Decision on Taking Business in Private

Meeting date: 24 October 2023

The Convener (Clare Haughey)

Good morning, and welcome to the 30th meeting of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee in 2023. I have received apologies from Emma Harper. James Dornan joins us as her substitute.

Our first agenda item is to make a decision on taking business in private. Do members agree to take items 5 to 8 in private?

Members indicated agreement.

You are straying from my question, which was about such organisations being on a governance board. Can you offer an opinion on whether they should be involved? I have heard about the importance and regard that you give them, but I do not know whether you think that they should be in the room.

I thank the minister and her officials for attending today.

Thank you for that. You have covered a bit of my next question. This issue has been raised with me, as an MSP, and I am sure that it has been raised with you, as minister. It is about individuals who are disappointed that accountability will be shared because one of the recommendations of the Feeley report was that there would be ministerial responsibility. There is concern that, if responsibility and accountability are shared, the existing postcode lottery—as people see it—of access to care services will continue. How will you ensure that that is not the case?

It would be helpful to the committee to receive that additional information from Ms Bell or the minister.
