Dr Kenneth Clark and Dr Hinamaha Lutui have been reappointed as health practitioner members.<\/p>\n
\u201cI acknowledge outgoing members Dr Rachelle Love, David Ivory, Simon Watt, and Dr Charles Hornabrook, and thank them for their contribution to the Council,\u201d Mr Brown says.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also recognise Dr Clark\u2019s ongoing contribution since he was elected as Chair in June. He continues to lead the Council, with Ming-chun Wu as Deputy Chair.<\/p>\n
