Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

It does not give you any powers. As CEO, I have the authority to use the resources of the health service within the normal bounds. It simply gives more focus in that it focuses on a single topic, in this case, the symptom of ED overcrowding, which we know is a wider health system problem. It is a kind of single-item topic. The question is of focus and bringing together both the national management team and other experts, such as public health experts and colleagues. The team does not convey any additional powers. It conveys additional focus and urgency. It is the last internal governance piece we have to kick in to respond to a particular issue.
