Acting in executive roles
121I Acting in executive roles
(1) A NSW Health Service senior executive or
other employee of the NSW Health Service may be assigned to act in the role of
a NSW Health Service senior executive if--
(a) the person who is usually
assigned to that other role is unavailable for any reason, or
(b) there is no
person performing duties in that other role for the time being.
(2) An
assignment to act in the role of a NSW Health Service senior executive under
this section may be made--
(a) in any case--by the Health Secretary, or
(b)
in the case of a NSW Health Service senior executive being assigned to act in
the role of another such executive--by the employer of the executive assigned
to act (but only if the employer is also the employer of the other executive).
If the Health Secretary assigns an executive to act in the role of an
executive for whom the Health Secretary is not the employer, the Health
Secretary is to consult the employer of that executive.
(3) While assigned to
act in the role of a NSW Health Service senior executive the person has all
the functions of the executive, but does not thereby become a NSW Health
Service senior executive if not already such an executive.
(4) An assignment
to act in the role of a NSW Health Service senior executive under this section
may be terminated at any time by a person authorised to make the assignment.
(5) This Part does not prevent the payment of an applicable allowance to a
person when assigned to act in the role of a NSW Health Service senior
executive under this section.
