(cf rule 22B GSE (General) Rules 2014)

If a Health executive is employed in accordance with rule 16 or 17 after a suitability or comparative assessment (the initial assessment) and the executive’s term employment is subsequently extended for a further period, a further suitability assessment (if the extended period is for up to 12 months) or a further comparative assessment (if the extended period is for more than 12 months) is not required in connection with the decision to employ the executive for that further period if:

(a) the executive is to be assigned to the same executive role as the role to which the executive was assigned after the initial assessment, or

(b) the executive’s employer is satisfied that it is appropriate to rely on the initial assessment for the executive role to which the executive is to be assigned.
