Three members of the Mental Health Board, Francisco Vera, Alison Mills and Andrew Calman have recently resigned. Mr. Vera represented the category of Public Citizen, Ms. Mills represented the category of Consumer and Mr. Calman represented the category of Family Member.
A recruitment was conducted and serving as the Board Sub-Committee for this appointment process, we interviewed eight candidates. Members of the Mental Health Board joined us for these interviews. We believe that all three would be valuable additions to the Mental Health Board.
