The Central Regional Health Authority has decided to suspend the operation of the District Health Advisory Councils.

They are part of the Province's Regional Health Authority Act, and are used as a resource to the RHA board of directors.


However, acting CEO Helmuth Klassen says the RHA created a network of Community Stakeholder groups that service a similar function.


He says the stakeholder groups are more relevant and have provided the RHA board with feedback that has a very local, grassroots flavour.
