significant reason for the delay in finalising executive contracts. I apologise to the Assembly.
The issue of performance agreements is not spelt out in the Public Sector Management Act. There is also no penalty for not tabling executive contracts, and that is an issue I have raised with the directorate. In relation to whether there is a validity of contract, section 80 of the Public Sector Management Act deals with that matter.
Schools—after-school care
MS BURCH: Madam Speaker, some questions were asked yesterday in relation to after-school care. There are 90 programs in the ACT offering before and after-school care. These are located at both government and non-government schools. Some of these programs also offer vacation care. Each program is approved for a different number of places, and approved places for before and after-school care programs currently range from 22 places up to 150. A total of 6,318 places are offered in before and after-school care programs.
