I last met with the Chair of Caranua on 7 December 2016. The Chief Executive and officials of my Department also attended that meeting. A range of relevant issues were discussed at that meeting including Caranua's performance and the progress the organization was making particularly with regard to meeting clients’ needs and delivering a quality service. It would be my intention to meet the Chair again later this year. I should point out also that officials of my Department meet with the Chair and Chief Executive on a regular basis, both in the context of the Performance Delivery Agreement in place with Caranua and to discuss other specific issues as they arise.
