Mr. Peter Brazel:

There are two points to be made. First, the nature of the payments, as we understand them as part of the internal audit, confirmed that they were unsanctioned payments. Therefore, the expectation of any paper trail leading to my Department would be unlikely in that circumstance. The normal process for confirming the consolidated salary scales for the health sector is engaged in through the Department of Health, which would provide the consolidated salary scales which form the approved salary scales for the health sector.
