St Margaret of Scotland Hospice (PE1105)
Good morning and welcome to this meeting of the Public Petitions Committee. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices, as they interfere with the sound system. No apologies have been received.
Agenda item 1 is consideration of four current petitions. The first petition is PE1105, by Marjorie McCance, on St Margaret of Scotland Hospice. Members have a note by the clerk. I invite contributions from members on what action they wish to take.

I ask that the petition be deferred to allow the petitioner and Gil Paterson MSP the opportunity to speak at a future committee meeting.
I am content for the petition to be deferred so that Gil Paterson can be present when we next consider it. I am not so sure that I would invite others to contribute, but I would certainly be happy to receive any further submissions that they might wish to make before we decide on the best course of action.
I agree.
Do members agree to that proposal?
Members indicated agreement.
