Ms Dee Forbes:

The nature of those contracts varies. Across the organisation, they span everything from broadcast-related activities to special events, sports programming and on-air presenters. The nature of our business is wide and varied. There are times when it does not make sense to have people in the organisation on a full-time basis. Take the example of the Olympics. Every four years, we may need the services of a swimming expert to come in and talk to us. Likewise, the Eurovision is coming up in a few weeks and we will need some specialist services around that. We bring people into the organisation on a contract basis for a special service. That is reflective of the wide and varying business we conduct.
