96 Staffing and services
There may be employed under Part 3 of the Public Administration Act 2004 any employees that are necessary for a Formal Review to perform its functions.
Note
See also section 18 of the Public Administration Act 2004, which provides for delegation powers of a public service body Head under that Act. That section would permit employment functions under that Act to be delegated to the chairperson of a Formal Review.
The chairperson of a Formal Review may—
enter into agreements or arrangements for the use of the services of any staff of a Department, statutory authority or other public body; and
engage persons with suitable qualifications and experience as consultants; and
enter into agreements or arrangements for the provision of any other services to the Formal Review.
The employment or engagement of members of staff of a Formal Review may be on any terms and conditions the chairperson considers appropriate and all members of staff are subject to the direction of the chairperson.
The chairperson of a Formal Review may, by instrument, delegate to another Formal Review officer a function under this section, other than this power of delegation.
Note
Section 18(2) of the Public Administration Act 2004 provides for subdelegation of powers delegated under that section.
