The Canterbury
District Health Board (CDHB) elections were held
during October 2010,
in conjunction with the local authority elections with election day
on 9 October 2010. The CDHB consists of up to 11 members, with seven
elected by the public at large within the CDHB area every three
years and up to four appointed by the Minister of Health.
The Board has all powers
necessary for the governance and management of the CDHB. However, the Board must
delegate to the CDHB’s Chief Executive the power to make decisions on management
matters relating to the DHB. The Board’s role is therefore one of stewardship,
direction-setting and monitoring the DHB’s overall performance against its
goals.
