Senior Doctors Union Welcomes Top Health Appointment
The Association of Salaried Medical Specialists (ASMS) welcomes the appointment of Chai Chuah as Chief Executive and Director-General of the Ministry of Health.
“We’ve had a longstanding relationship
with him in his roles as Chief Executive of the Hutt Valley
District Health Board and in the Health Ministry as head of
the National Health Board and Acting Director-General of the
Ministry,” says ASMS Executive Director Ian
Powell.
“We’ve found it to be a very professional, constructive relationship and we look forward to strengthening that now his appointment in the Ministry of Health has been confirmed. This appointment is welcome news.
“We hope that this appointment will give him more authority to deal with the significant failings by DHBs in the wider Wellington region (especially over the hospital laboratories debacle) and the deep south.”
