This is the first issue for 2010 of our electronic publication, Executive Direct, to report to members on National Executive news. The intention is to forward it to members after each Executive meeting (at least). It reports on the last Executive meeting on 18 February (which was preceded by an informal strategic direction meeting on 17 February). The next Executive meeting is scheduled for 29 April.
The main features of the Executive meeting were preparation for the forthcoming national DHB MECA negotiations and a session with the Minister of Health.
