Southern District Health Board - Otago Constituency Electing 4 Board Members Rob WOODHOUSE My principal place of residence is in the Southern District Health Board - Otago Constituency area. I am also standing for Otago Regional Council - Dunedin Constituency. I am a multigenerational Otago resident - Company Director and graduate from Massey University with a Business Degree in Communications Management. I'm a member of the National Party and past Chairman and Treasurer for their Dunedin North Electorate Committee. The SDHB employs 4,600 great staff trying to deliver $1 billion in health services annually. The SDHB Purpose Statement says it aims to support everyone across our district to live well and access the right care when they need it, by delivering high quality, patient-centred health services. But is it really? Babies are being born on the side of the road. Cancer diagnosis and treatment is inadequate. Neurosurgery in Dunedin is in jeopardy. Otago taxpayers deserve better than 3rd world health care. You deserve transparency and a voice. My vision: Best healthcare, fast. Conflict of Interest Statement I have the following current conflicts of interest with the Southern District Health Board (SDHB). (a) My brother Michael Woodhouse is a National Party MP. He is the Opposition Health Spokesperson, Associate Spokesperson for Finance, and is a member of the Health Select Committee. He was previously the Chief Executive Officer of Mercy Hospital Dunedin. (b) My partner Karen is a nurse at Mercy Hospital, which is subject to a contractual arrangement with the SDHB. (c) My sister Angela is a Mid-Wife within the SDHB region. (d) My sister Maree is currently employed by the SDHB as a medical technician. To the best of my knowledge and belief, I have no other conflicts of interest with the SDHB at the date of my notice of consent to being nominated as a candidate for membership of the board of the SDHB. I do not believe that any conflicts of interest are likely to arise in future, other than the continuation of the conflicts of interest stated above..

The Ministry of Public Input
The Ministry of Public Input: Report and Recommendations for Practice By Associate Professor Jennifer Lees-Marshment The University of Auckland, New Zealand August 2014 www.lees-marshment.org [email protected] Executive Summary Political leadership is undergoing a profound evolution that changes the role that politicians and the public play in decision making in democracy. Rather than simply waiting for voters to exercise their judgement in elections, political elites now use an increasingly varied range of public input mechanisms including consultation, deliberation, informal meetings, travels out in the field, visits to the frontline and market research to obtain feedback before and after they are elected. Whilst politicians have always solicited public opinion in one form or another, the nature, scale, and purpose of mechanisms that seek citizen involvement in policy making are becoming more diversified and extensive. Government ministers collect different forms of public input at all levels of government, across departments and through their own offices at all stages of the policy process. This expansion and diversification of public input informs and influences our leaders’ decisions, and thus has the potential to strengthen citizen voices within the political system, improve policy outcomes and enhance democracy. However current practice wastes both resources and the hope that public input can enrich democracy. If all the individual public input activities government currently engages in were collated and added up it would demonstrate that a vast amount of money and resources is already spent seeking views from outside government. But it often goes unseen, is uncoordinated, dispersed and unchecked. We need to find a way to ensure this money is spent much more effectively within the realities of government and leadership.

POLITICAL COMMENTARY Reflection on the 2014 Election: Implications for Women
88 POLITICAL COMMENTARY Reflection on the 2014 election: Implications for women SUE BRADFORD This has not been a good election for women, unless perhaps you’re white, wealthy and suf- ficiently lacking in empathy to believe that John Key and his mates are going to do a good job for us all over the next three years. Whether considering the gender makeup of Parliament and Cabinet, the likely consequences of a National government for women and children over the next few years, or the melancholy fate of the parties of the left, the aspiration of pre-election initiatives like the Women’s Election Agenda appear somewhat dimmed by reality. Parliament A noticeable feature of the 51st Parliament is the reduced number of women elected, down to 37 out of 84, meaning that women make up slightly under 32% of MPs. The 2011 Parliament had 39 women MPs. High hopes that the maturation of MMP and the legacy of the Helen Clark era would mean a steady increase in the numbers of women entering Parliament have clearly not been met. Apart from the Greens, it is hard to identify much success among the major political parties in achieving greater gender balance among their elected representatives. Just 34% of Labour’s MPs are women (11 out of 32), meaning that their goal of reaching 45% women MPs by this election has fallen sadly short. Turning to the makeup of the power holders in National’s third term Cabinet, a pitiful six out of 20 full Ministers are women, with the highest ranked being Paula Bennett at number five.
