Ms Laverne McGuinness:

There is a competitive process which prospective staff and existing staff seeking promotion are obliged to undergo. This process is facilitated by our national recruitment service, which is operates under licence from the Public Appointments Service. There is a job description in respect of that particular role but, over time, roles may change. So it is something that will be considered. We cannot address it today because if 200 people have been interviewed by HIQA, they self-selected from a full list of staff.
