The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): Supplementary for clarification: is the minister now saying they are public sector appointments for these two gentlemen?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:23): The fact of the matter is that these people are not currently public sector employees. My understanding and the advice I have been given is the executive contracts are yet to be finalised, but it is the intention of CALHN that Mr Mentha and Mr Martin will be employed via executive contracts. The advice I am given is that the final details are being worked through and, I take it from that, those executive contracts have not been executed yet.
