Health Professionals (Medical Board) Community Representative List 2006 (No 1)
Notifiable Instrument NI2006 – 59
made under the
Health Professionals Act 2004, Section 36

The Health Professionals Act 2004 (the Act) requires that the Board maintain a Community Representative List of suitable people sit on panels.

The Community Representative List must be notified under the Legislation Act 2001.  In accordance with section 36 (3), the Minister is required to endorse the list.

The Board has a number of matters that will proceed to either a panel or the Health Tribunal in the near future, which will require community representation.

This instrument revokes the previous Medical Board Community Representative List and provides additional Consumer representatives to assist the Board in up coming panels and tribunal hearings.
