We move now to our consideration of current petitions. A number of members have suggested moving a particular petition further up the agenda, but we will start by considering three petitions that have been grouped together.Petitions PE1076, PE1163 and PE1186 are being considered together because they are all on the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman. Among a range of issues that they raise is an appeal tribunal to review final decisions. One of the new petitions that we dealt with earlier was on a similar subject. Do members have any views on how we should deal with these petitions?

I refer you to my previous remarks and our previous decision.

Yes. We should defer consideration of the petitions until we learn what emerges from the Review of SPCB Supported Bodies Committee. Is that agreed?Members indicated agreement.
