I cannot hear the minister. The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Leader of the Opposition, it is your member's question. Your member sits at the far end of the chamber. I would like the Hon. Ms Pnevmatikos to be able to hear the response of the minister to her question. The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council The Hon. S.G. WADE: I wasn't able to hear all of the question, but let me indicate that KordaMentha, in phase 1 and phase 2, is fundamentally involved in a diagnostics project and in developing an implementation plan. They are involved in working with CALHN management in relation to short-term measures that can be delivered to help stabilise the organisation, but my understanding is that KordaMentha has no authority to make appointments under the Public Sector Management Act.
