(1) The Public Administration Act 2004 applies in respect of the government ELC workforce as if, under that Act—
(a) the government ELC workforce is a "public sector body" and part of the "public sector"; and
(b) the Secretary, in the Secretary's capacity as the employer of the government ELC workforce, is the "public sector body Head" of the government ELC workforce; and
(c) an employee is a "public sector employee" and a "public official".
(2) Despite anything to the contrary in the Public Administration Act 2004 , the government ELC workforce is not a "public entity" under that Act.
