Sure.

We support the changes to allow the minister to apply resources as appropriate. Health and safety officers all have a general health and safety background, but they're not experts on everything, yet there are experts on different things within the service. The ability of the minister to assign officers with particular expertise to particular problems is beneficial from our perspective.
