Mr. William Beausang:
There is a structure for approvals and sanctions of the appointment of staff in ETBs that has to be worked though because, ultimately, approval is required from the Department for those staff. That is not part of the strategic performance agreement but there is a parallel system that works to determine staffing numbers and the recruitment of staff to ETBs.
