I second Senator Barrett's amendment. In an organisation whose central flaw is generally recognised as having deliberately or inadvertently created a barrier between those who run the health service and those who are elected to oversee the public purse and public services, it does not seem to make sense to allow any additional barriers during what one hopes will be the short term of the remainder of this organisation and to give it additional protections against answerability. In the absence of the amendment, it seems to me that this is the case.
