The new Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Board is about to have its first chairperson appointed, by agreement of the Cabinet, and this committee has been asked to meet the nominee. I welcome Ms Sylda Langford to our meeting to discuss the approach she will take in her new role and to hear her views on the challenges facing the board. This discussion is part of the new arrangement by the Government to provide for committees to talk to new chairpersons designate. Also in attendance is Ms Mary McGarry, principal officer of the residential institutions redress unit.
