I refer to the answers given to questions 1462 and 1508 and the contract of employment between Dr Denzil McCotter and the Metropolitan Health Service Board dated 28 September 2000. In particular, I refer to the clauses relating to the restriction on compensation for early termination. Why was one year’s full salary of $152 286.04 paid to the officer when the officer voluntarily resigned from her position and, as a consequence, the employing authority did not terminate her contract?
