the first reference in section 88 to the Chief Executive Medicare is to be read as a reference to the Committee; and

the other references in section 88 to the Chief Executive Medicare are to be read as references to the Committee or the Chief Executive Medicare; and

references in subsections 88A(4) and (8) to the Chief Executive Medicare are to be read as references to both the Chief Executive Medicare and the Committee.
