Amendment No. 19 includes a role for the board in respect of the terms and conditions of the chief executive and brings the provision in line with many other Acts. Terms and conditions for the chief executive will be determined by the board, but, importantly, with the approval of the Minister for Health of the day and given with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. This amendment is to ensure that the legislation is clear and in line with other Acts.
