Hon Louise Upston: In May 2024, I approved the following for the Extraordinary Care Fund Expert Advisory Panel: • the replacement of two members • extended the appointment of one member for a further two years • promoted one of the panels members to Chairperson. At this time, there was an increase in payment to the panel members (paid under Group 4, Level 3 of the Cabinet Fees framework) from $250 per day to $300 per day. The Chairperson’s payment, also paid under Group 4, Level 3 of the Cabinet Fees Framework was increased from $300 per day to $400 per day. These changes took effect from 1 July 2024
