Ms Anne O'Connor:

There has been a lot of discussion around the panel system. We are looking at how we can rectify that in terms of our duties as we employ people. In regard to the concerns around the disciplines referenced by the Deputy, I am familiar with the issue of people applying for jobs in a geography and, on the basis of where they come on a panel, being allocated a job that might not be the perfect match with their skills etc. I think that is the issue being referenced. We are looking at that. As part of the recruitment design that we are bringing the organisation to, it is about more local control over recruitment as well. We have heard the call for local areas to have more say in terms of resources. We are taking that seriously in terms of trying to make sure that areas have a bit more autonomy in terms of how they recruit. The reality is we are a licensed recruiter and so we have to adhere to our recruitment licence in terms of how we bring people into the organisation. We are limited by that to some extent.
