Ms Suzanne Eade:

Yes, I was absolutely surprised. The transparency is there now, with Mr. O'Loughlin in place. His contract, for example, went through a review with us so that it was aligned to the normal CEO-type contract. I know that has all been addressed now but I agree that it is unusual to find people not having contracts of employment with the right body.
