GOVERNMENT SECTOR FINANCE ACT 2018 - SECT 2.6

Responsible Minister for GSF agencies

2.6 Responsible Minister for GSF agencies

(1) The
"responsible Minister" , in relation to a GSF agency (whether or not a reporting GSF agency), is--
(a) for a NSW Health entity--the Minister administering the Health Services Act 1997 , or
(b) for a Public Service agency that is not a NSW Health entity--the Minister to whom the agency is responsible, or
(c) for a statutory State owned corporation--the voting shareholders of the corporation under the State Owned Corporations Act 1989 , or
(d) for any other GSF agency--the Minister who administers the constituent Act for the agency.
Note--: Section 50C of the Constitution Act 1902 enables the Governor to make administrative arrangements orders that specify the Minister to whom a Public Service agency is responsible. Administrative arrangements orders can be accessed on the NSW legislation website at www.legislation.nsw.gov.au.
(2) Despite subsection (1), the Premier may, by notice published in the Gazette, authorise a Minister or other person to exercise some or all of the functions of the responsible Minister for a GSF agency instead of that Minister.
(3) A Minister or other person authorised to exercise the functions of the responsible Minister for a GSF agency is to be treated as being the responsible Minister for the agency for the purposes of this Act in relation to the functions that are authorised.
(4) To avoid doubt, if the person authorised is not a Minister, the person has the same powers under this Act to delegate the Ministerial functions that the person is authorised to exercise as a Minister would have.
