The museum is dealing with a number of legacy HR issues relating to matters that happened a number of years ago and the board of management is taking steps to address these issues. I cannot get involved in HR matters, which are a matter for the executive and board of the museum. I have provided additional support in dealing with the legacy issues. I have been very supportive of the chair and the members of the new board, whom I appointed in July 2016. They are doing a wonderful job in implementing change in the museum as well as preparing new plans to improve the museum's services to the public in the coming years.

My Department has already sanctioned three specific HR positions and two temporary positions for the corporate services area of the museum to assist in this process. The report states that there is no evidence in the Department of the Department receiving any allegation of inappropriate sexual behaviour from June 2011-----
