Tēnā koutou katoa,
On behalf of the Health Hawke’s Bay Chair, Na Raihania
I wish to advise that Phillipa Blakey has resigned from Health Hawke’s Bay and will be leaving the organisation on Friday 18 November 2022.
Phillipa came into Health Hawke’s Bay with a particular vision and passion for our operations. She has developed a great team and positioned the business well to take advantage of the reforms and manage the associated risks. She has decided it is now time to hand over the reins to let someone else take the organisation forward into its next phase.
Health Hawke’s Bay thanks Phillipa for her leadership and wishes her well for the future.
The Board will notify the sector about interim arrangements for leadership of the business in the coming days.
