Question

The article mentions that "As with most parliamentary - executive arrangements, the cabinet is collectively responsible to parliament for all of the things done by or under the authority of any minister". How is this related to TPA and how is ministerial responsibility and accountability ensured under TPA?

Answer 1

As with most parliamentary-executive arrangements, the cabinet is collectively responsible to parliament for all things done by or under the authority of any minister as an employer. In this case, the TPA serves as a third-party insurance company that provides operational services such as claims processing and employee benefits management under contract to another company. In addition, insurance companies and self-insured companies often outsource their claims processing to third parties.
