• The role of a Chairperson of the Health NZ Board

    From Crash@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 6 10:22:49 2023
    Much has been made recently about Rob Campbell, as chair of the Health
    NZ Board, billing for far more time than was budgeted for his role (50
    days per year). He claims to be working up to 60 hours per week. This
    sounds very odd indeed - no board chair ever works these hours.

    Crown Health Entities (such as HNZ) are run by a CEO and supporting
    management. These are full-time roles covering the day-to-day
    operations of the organisation.

    The role of a board chair is to run board meetings. Typically board
    meetings would normally be held monthly, last an hour or 2 with some
    extra time for all board members to prepare for the meeting and to be
    involved in board committees that meet separately. A few days per
    month per board member should be more than adequate. Board members
    are governance-focused and not full-time roles.

    HNZ has a full-time CEO and supporting management. They make all the day-to-day decisions on behalf of the board. The only involvement of
    board members in this process is to set general directions for the CEO
    to follow and step in should there be the odd problem.

    So how does Rob Campbell justify working 60 hours per week for the HNZ
    board? Presumably he has raised this issue with the Minister of
    Health at the time? If not - why not?

    Interesting, Crash, if true. Do you have a reference for these claims.
    I can well believe that he was working 60 hours a wekk - but that
    would be for all his Board roles . . .
    Crash hasn't made any claims. Campbell has however. Even if he was on 10 boards he would never work 60 hours per week. If he is telling the truth then he is counting some other workload or like you he doesn't understand the difference between management and governance.

    Interesting. Directors are normally just paid a fixed fee - to prepare for and attend board meetings. If he's also getting paid by the hour then that smells very bad - particularly for a political appointee such as him.

    Your question of Crash was loaded, and we both know it. You are so transparent. And then of course you revert to type and are abusive with your favourite form - sarcasm!

    I can well believe that he was working 60 hours a wekk - but that

    On the matter of cites, and references. Some times cites are needed, indeed useful. However there are occassions when cites are not required as the
    matter is small or it is public knowledge.

    Society would break down if we all requested cites for each, and every statement. Nothing would progress.

    In this case probably is that the Rob Campbell has been quoted in the Main Stream Media or elsewhere.

    The 60/week figure is also "plusable" as in Campbell said it. After all he
    is has been having some frank and meaningful out bursts.

    Crown Health Entities (such as HNZ) are run by a CEO and supporting management. These are full-time roles covering the day-to-day

    The role of a board chair is to run board meetings. Typically board

    extra time for all board members to prepare for the meeting and to be involved in board committees that meet separately. A few days per

    to follow and step in should there be the odd problem.

    So how does Rob Campbell justify working 60 hours per week for the HNZ board? Presumably he has raised this issue with the Minister of
    Health at the time? If not - why not?

    Clearly you do not understand how usenet works. Crash posted some
    words that started off:
    "Much has been made recently about Rob Campbell, as chair of the
    Health NZ Board, billing for far more time than was budgeted for his
    role (50 days per year). He claims to be working up to 60 hours per

    That may well be a quotation from somewhere else - all I asked for was
    a reference for that and other statements made.

    Thanks you Crash. Unfortunately I am unable to erad more than a very
    small bit of that article as I do not regard the paywalls as being
    worth the money. Doubtless there will be discussion elsewhere in due
    course. There has been a lot going on in a number of broad areas
    relating to health, and it is possible that many people were asked to
    work longer hours for a variety of reasons - I have faith that money
    would not have been paid out contrary to contracts, but it is possible
    that there may have been a lack of clarity about variations due to
    work pressures. I am aure I am not the only person looking for more
    detail; and I regard those issues as not necessarily political - there
    were adjustments to a number of contracts during the GFC crisis for
    example.
