Appointment of Members
The Council is made up of six health practitioners and two laypersons.
Council members are appointed by the
Minister of Health. Before making the appointments, the Minister must
publish a notice inviting nominations. Information on nominations can
be obtained from the Account Manager - Committees in the Corporate
Services Directorate of the Ministry of Health.
We operate on the principle of collective responsibility. Council
members may have been nominated by an organisation, but do not represent
that organisation at Council meetings. Council members are paid for
their time carrying out Council work. The Council sets the payment
rates.
