Advisory Committees

COVID-19 update: Please note that due to response planning and implementation required by DHB management and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board’s statutory advisory committee meetings were cancelled during alert levels three and four (from 25th March to 6th May 2020). The Board continued to meet during this time as did the Audit and Finance Committee, with reduced agenda formats.

Under the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act, a DHB board has three statutory advisory committees which typically consist of both members of the public and board members of the DHB. These committees provide a key means for community voices to be heard.

The HAC gives advice through monitoring of financial and operational performance and assessment of strategic issues relating to the hospitals (and related services) of the DHB.

  • Edward Benson-Cooper  (Deputy Committee Chair)

There is currently one vacancy on the HAC.

The CPHAC gives advice on the health status and needs of the resident population, the priorities for the use of health funding, and the development of funding strategies and policies. CPHAC meets four times per year, with an additional two meetings convened with the Auckland DHB CPHAC.
