I suggest that we write to the Department as well because it has oversight of this area.

On the back of the Thorn report into this issue and the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Department recommended changes in the governance of ETBs. Given that many decisions were not approved by the board, perhaps we need to ask the Department what changes it is making to tighten that up and ensure that boards are making decisions and are central to key decisions. If it is happening in this case, it could be happening elsewhere.
