Variations to this Agreement. (1) This Agreement may be varied, including by the addition, amendment, or removal of a Referenced Document, in the following ways: (a) in order to give effect to any Crown Direction, law change, or payment rate increase pursuant to clause F.21, in accordance with clause B.24 (a Compulsory Variation); (b) by agreement reached in accordance with clause B.25 (a National Voluntary Variation); (c) in respect of Alliance Services, in accordance with clauses D.6 to D.9; (d) in respect of Local Services, by mutual agreement which must be in writing and signed by both of us; and (e) as otherwise set out in this Agreement. (2) The DHB may vary templates and formats for reports and other documents required under this Agreement as the DHB reasonably requires, provided that the DHB consults with the PHO on the proposed changes in accordance with the PSAAP Protocol or through any other process we agree. (3) If a proposed variation to a template or format for reports will result in material additional costs to the PHO, we will discuss, and endeavour to resolve, the issue. If we agree, the DHB will compensate the PHO for any additional material costs that the PHO or its Contracted Providers may incur as a result of the variation. If we do not agree, either of us may refer the matter for dispute resolution under clause B.37 and until resolution, the PHO will not be required to use the varied template or format for reports.
