(1) Before appointing someone, other than a community representative, to a health profession board the Minister must consult the board.
(2) The Minister may also seek advice, and nominations, from an entity the Minister considers suitable to give advice, and make nominations, in relation to the health profession board.
(3) Also, if the Minister considers it appropriate to do so, the Minister may appoint members to the health profession board at intervals, instead of at the same time.
Example of why Minister might consider it appropriate to appoint people at intervals
to avoid the loss of corporate knowledge that might happen if a large number of members were appointed at the same time and, because of that, left the board at the same time
Note An example is part of the regulations, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
