Board Committees
Board Committees
South Canterbury DHB has three statutory advisory committees, as well as three non-statutory committees. Committees do not involve themselves in operational matters. Rather, their role is to advise the Board on policies and to monitor progress towards meeting SCDHB objectives. Committees may include non-Board members who are appointed by the Board. Positions for committee members are advertised from time to time.
Community & Public Health Advisory Committee (CPHAC)
CPHAC advises the Board on the health needs and issues facing South Canterbury residents, and on the priorities for the use of health funding. It also advises the Board on how services funded and/or provided by SCDHB, and SCDHB’s policies, will impact our population. Committee meetings, which are open to the public, are usually held every second month on the same day as the Board meeting.
