Government pledges to reform HSA board pay structure
Government has pledged to reform how statutory boards are compensated, following revelations that Health Services Authority directors took home almost half-a-million dollars over 18 months – a figure described as “obscene” by MP Chris Saunders.
Health Minister Katherine Ebanks-Wilks told Finance Committee last week that Cabinet is considering standardising the pay structure for the boards which provide oversight to government companies and statutory authorities.
There is currently wide disparity in the amounts paid to the directors of different boards and Ebanks-Wilks said the review would include consideration of a flat-fee structure rather than payment for every meeting.
