The KPMG report was very critical of the fact that there was not a permanent CEO and I am wondering what the Minister is doing in this respect. Additionally, at staff and management levels in the three existing hospitals, the report found that staff and management were overwhelmed because of the pressures on the hospitals. In fact, very little time and attention was being paid to the merger and the significant issues arising in that context. Does the Minister accept there is a need for additional staff at a very senior level in CHI to manage this transition?
