I accept the Minister's comment that it is standard across legislation and that there are 42 days to go to the High Court if the committee believes the decision of the CEO is not acceptable. However, this is an opportunity to further strengthen transparency and accountability. We know these have been lacking in view of recent scandals in the public health service in this country. With this Bill we have an opportunity to modify it, modernise it and make it accountable to the people. I will withdraw the amendment but I will return to this on Report Stage.
