This direction sets out the Authority’s decision to allow the Licensee to engage external temporary staff in the EMR Administrative Team (“EMRAT”). SpC 2N.14 requires the Licensee to have in place and comply with an EMR Compliance Statement at all times, unless the Authority otherwise consents or directs. Appendix 8 of the EMR Compliance Statement states that peak EMRAT members should only be sourced from the Licensee.
The Authority considers that it is appropriate to allow the Licensee to engage external temporary staff in EMRAT, subject to certain conditions, for the period 15 July 2016 until 20 October 2016, for the reasons set out in the accompanying letter. On the basis that allowing the Licensee to engage external temporary staff in EMRAT is subject to certain conditions the Authority has decided to issue a Direction rather than a Consent.
