I would like to assure the Deputy that the absence of the CEO is governed by legislation. In accordance with the provisions of Section 14(9) of the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Act 2012, the Board of Caranua has designated Ms Rachel Downes, Director of Services, as the person who will now perform the functions of the chief executive until the CEO recovers.
