Nursing Council Leadership Shake-Up | Auckland News

Nursing Council chief Catherine Byrne has resigned, joining a wave of departures including the chief nursing education advisor and two legal advisors — all amid fallout from the Health Minister’s overhaul of the council’s board. The nurses’ union blames the government for sidelining efforts to improve Māori health outcomes through culturally safe care, calling the leadership shake-up a gutting blow. The Minister’s office downplayed the exits as routine, thanking Byrne while deferring operational matters to the council. With key roles now vacant, the future direction of the council hangs in the balance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
