CDHB Chairman Not Seeking Reappointment
In commenting on a paper concerning the next CDHB elections at today’s Board meeting, the Chair of the Canterbury
District Health Board Syd Bradley announced he will not be seeking reappointment this year and will finish in his role
on 9 December 2004.
Mr Bradley said he had advised the Minister of Health, Hon Annette King last September and had confirmed his decision
earlier this year.
‘We have been through some challenging times over the last three years,’ Mr Bradley said. ‘However, the Board has made
some significant achievements and I believe the relationship between clinicians and management has been strengthened
over this period, and that we have come to grips with some of our more pressing issues like the budget.’
Mr Bradley said he was confident that the Board was in good hands with an outstanding Chief Executive.
During his tenure on the Board, Mr Bradley has also worked with the Victorian government as part of a health reforms
panel and is currently the Chair of DHBNZ (District Health Boards New Zealand.) He will finish his term of office in
this position in September.
