Hon Dr Jonathan Coleman
Minister of Health
1 February 2017
Temporary Chairs appointed to Canterbury and South Canterbury DHB
Health Minister Jonathan Coleman has today appointed temporary Chairs to the boards of Canterbury and South Canterbury
DHB.
The temporary appointments come after the Chair of both boards, Murray Cleverley, stood down while the State Services
Commission conducts an inquiry into allegations former employees of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Agency used their
Public Service positions to advance their private business interests.
Deputy Chair of Canterbury DHB, Sir Mark Solomon, and Deputy Chair of South Canterbury DHB, Ron Luxton, will act as
Board Chairs of their respective DHBs until the inquiry is completed.
