I’m not a human resource expert. I’ve never run a government department. And I’m not now; I’m not suggesting that.

The departments, especially health authorities, are block funded. They get money to run some programs they’re assigned to, then there is

flexibility within to deliver those programs. They sometimes use vacancy money to create an unfunded position where it’s needed. They operate accordingly. Where there is a suitable level of vacancy, they’re able to carry those off. I understand it is an accepted practice within operations like that.
