Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Act 2004 (Modification of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978) Order 2006 (draft)

I welcome everybody to this afternoon's meeting. I want to get off to a quick start, because we have a lot of work to do this afternoon. No apologies have been received.

Under item 1, the committee is asked to consider an affirmative instrument. I thank the Deputy Minister for Health and Community Care for being present. The Subordinate Legislation Committee considered the draft order and had no comment to make. If no member wishes to seek clarification from the minister or debate the draft order, I invite the minister to move motion S2M-3703.

Motion moved,

That the Health Committee recommends that the draft Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Act 2004 (Modification of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978) Order 2006 be approved.—[Lewis Macdonald.]

Motion agreed to.

Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) <br />(West Coast) (No 18) (Scotland) Order 2005 (SSI 2005/626)

Item 2 is another affirmative instrument. It is one of our old friends—an amnesic shellfish poisoning order. The Subordinate Legislation Committee considered the order and had no comment to make. If no member wishes to seek clarification from the minister or debate the order, I invite the minister to move motion S2M-3717.

Motion moved,

That the Health Committee recommends that the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) (West Coast) (No 18) (Scotland) Order 2005 (SSI 2005/626) be approved.—[Lewis Macdonald.]

Motion agreed to.

Feeding Stuffs (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/605)<br />Meat (Official Controls Charges) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/607)

Feed (Hygiene and Enforcement) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/608)<br />National Health Service (Charges for Drugs and Appliances) (Scotland) Amendment (No 3) Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/617)

National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/618)

Under item 3, the committee is asked to consider five negative instruments. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has not yet published its comments on SSI 2005/605, SSI 2005/607 and SSI 2005/608, but the clerks have an update, which has been circulated to all members. I will give members a minute or two to look through it. While members are doing that, I should say that the Subordinate Legislation Committee considered SSI 2005/617 and SSI 2005/618 and had no comment to make.

As I have not received any comments from members and no motions to annul have been lodged, are we all agreed that the committee does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to these five negative instruments?

Members indicated agreement.
