Delegations: The Head of Department stated that, in the previous term, CEOs and district managers had certain powers (such as to hire staff and procure medication) but these were removed in the new political term. The challenge was to bring back those powers. The Executive Council had approved a Policy Framework. Departments have customised and submitted to the Premier's office and were awaiting final approval. However the main challenge was accountability and proper governance. The new delegations spelt out requirements with regard to bid committee, finance, supply chain management and personnel.
