60A Public Health Officials
The CEO may designate a person as a Public Health Official for the purposes of this Act if the CEO considers that the person has appropriate qualifications and experience to perform the functions of a Public Health Official, and may revoke a designation under this subsection at any time.
For the purposes of subsection (1), the CEO may engage, under a contract for services, any person whom the CEO considers has appropriate qualifications and experience to perform the functions of a Public Health Official.
A person engaged under subsection (2) is not a person appointed under the Public Sector Management Act 1994 Part 3.
Subsection (2) does not limit section 58 or 59(1) or the Public Sector Management Act 1994 section 100.
If, immediately before the Public Health (Consequential Provisions) Act 2016 section 156 (the relevant section) comes into operation, a person holds a designation as a Public Health Official under the Health Legislation Administration Act 1984 section 7, then, on the coming into operation of the relevant section, the person is to be taken to hold a designation as a Public Health Official under subsection (1).
