Conflicts of Interest

I have the following current conflicts of interest with the Southern District Health board (DHB): a) I am the Nurse Manager at the Gore Medical Centre, a health service provider which is part funded by the DHB through the Hokonui Primary Health Organisation (PHO). b) I am the coordinator of the Gore Baptist Church Nail Clinic which receives funding from the Hokonui PHO for services. c) I am a director on the Hokonui PHO which will end on the 30 September 2010 with amalgamation into the Southern PHO. d) I am a Board member for the Faith Community Nurses Association of New Zealand but if successfully nominated will resign from this position, retaining membership only. e) My daughter is currently a nurse employed by the Southern DHB. f) My brother is currently employed by the Canterbury DHB as an Ophthalmology Specialist. My sister in law is a general practitioner at a health service provider which is part funded by the Canterbury DHB. To the best of my knowledge and belief, I have no other conflicts of interest with the DHB at the date of my notice of consent to be nominated as a candidate for membership of the board of the DHB. I do not believe that any conflicts of interest are likely to arise in the future, other than the continuation of the conflicts of interest stated above.
