9. Staff and External Advisors
9.1 The office has a small team of persons with particular skills and expertise. The office supplements its resources, where and if appropriate, by making use of other resources within the Business Services Branch of the Ministry, and by seeking external assistance from experts in the private sector in dealing with particular problems as they arise.
In seeking external professional advice, the office looks for persons who have particular skills and experience which match the nature of the problem. Appropriate external private sector professional advice is also sought to provide quality assurance processes.
During the year I have appreciated the assistance and advice given by Mr H Rennie QC, Chapman Tripp, Phillips Fox, Kensington Swan and Deloittes.
The staff carrying out the work of the Insurance and Superannuation Unit have shown ongoing dedication and commitment, and I would like to record my appreciation for the efforts during the year of Gavin Quigan, Manager Insurance and Superannuation Unit and Lesley Carrig, Superannuation Officer.
