Health Services Act 1997

A person holding office as a chief executive officer of an incorporated health service immediately before its dissolution is taken to have been appointed under this Act as the chief executive officer of its successor. Such an appointment is for the remainder of the period of appointment to the position that is abolished by reason of the dissolution of the incorporated health service.

Appointment by virtue of this clause does not change the terms of the contract of employment between the person as an executive officer and the executive officer’s employer.

However—

the contract is taken to be with the successor of the incorporated health service, and

the chief executive officer’s appointment is also taken to be an appointment made under section 28 of this Act and therefore to be an appointment to which Part 2A (but not Part 2) of the Public Sector Management Act 1988 applies.
