NGO-MoH forum
7 April 2005, Christchurch


The seventh Health and Disability NGO Sector - Ministry of Health Forum was held in Christchurch on Thursday 7 April 2005. The theme of the Forum was "Strengthening the Sector From Within".

There were 125 registrations, which was very pleasing as it was the first Forum to be held in the South Island. Many attendees were from the South Island, and many had not attended a Forum before.

Unfortunately, the Minister of Health sent her apologies the previous day. Her address was read by the Deputy Director-General of Public Health, Don Matheson. Don Matheson also gave an update on the Ministry's draft instruction to staff on contracting with NGOs. Don acknowledged that there had been a number of concerns in the submissions received on the draft instruction, and advised that the Ministry was examining the option of a standard clause to go in Ministry of Health contracts to ensure political neutrality is not breached.

The documents from the Forum, including the presentations given and reports discussed at the Forum, are available below.
