(1) The information the Member requests is not currently available for all boards and committees, although work is underway to develop a database of such information. If the Member has a specific request relating to an individual board or committee member, more information may be able to be provided at that time.
(2-7) Board appointments/reappointments were made by the responsible Minister, and Departments notified in due course. Appointments are made for specified terms with new appointments being made to ensure that advisory boards are able to provide contemporary advice. The appointment of new members from time-to-time brings different skills and experiences to the board. Board members whose term of appointment expires are formally notified of re-appointment or non-reappointment. Redundancy is terminology that applies to an employment relationship. The majority of board members are not public sector employees.
