Question:153 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason the chief executive of the Health and Safety Authority is leaving his post; if he was consulted before the board of the HSA offered the chief executive a one year extension to their original five year contract; if he has satisfied himself that the independence of an executive agency charged with the implementation of health and safety law has not been compromised by this outcome; if a successor suitable to the post will be appointed without delay; if he will ensure that all outstanding contractual and financial obligations to the chief executive will be honoured swiftly and in full by the HSA, his Department and the Department of Finance; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
