He/she shall exercise this right of delegation in such a way as to assure the available at all times of some staff member possessing the requisite authority to make decisions and to authorize payment by the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services.

(c) Applications which may be held for the welfare board are:

1. Those where immediate medical need is not indicated; or

2. Those where the director believes that there is valid cause to question the available evidence on any point of eligibility, or where the case presents a special problem;

3. If so held, the application shall be identified in the narrative portion of the minutes, and in each instance shall include a brief statement of the question or special problem involved and the decision of the board.
