View answerAll newly appointed Branch Managers are appointed on an initial twelve month contract. Subject to the provision of satisfactory service a permanent contract to age 65 may be awarded. In some instances specific time bound contracts have also been awarded. There is provision in all contracts for the review of arrangements for delivery of services. During the period in question, the contracts awarded to two Branch managers will fall to be reviewed, one at August 2009 and the other at November 2009.
