MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24):</by>  My further supplementary for clarification is: is the minister definitively advising this council that those two business manager positions do not in any way come under the auspices of the Public Sector Management Act?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:24):</by>  My understanding is that CALHN has temporarily engaged two experienced business managers from KordaMentha to work within the critical care and surgery directives to review the current roles of the business operation manager and the team structure, and to recommend changes to direct business management.</text>
        <text id="20181204f0ea116722ba4df880000070">This engagement, as I said, is actually already completed. It was a contract with KordaMentha for a period of 10 weeks until 30 November. The two business manager positions became vacant during September, and they are critical to the success of CALHN as a business; so the vacancies created an opportunity to fully review the roles and their responsibilities.</text>
        <text id="20181204f0ea116722ba4df880000071">The engagement of the KordaMentha employees in these roles is in line with KordaMentha's role in implementing the organisational and financial recovery. These positions report to a senior CALHN employee and hold no financial delegations.</text>
