Sir John To The Rescue Again?

We reported on 5 December that Board heads were likely to begin rolling at Capital and Coast District Health Board as Minister Cunliffe (yes with a "l") takes charge. The Dominion Post is reporting that Board Chair Judith Aitken is about to be sacked, and replaced by Sir John Anderson who will oversee the Board as a crown monitor. Sir John has a good track record. He has managed to quieten things down at TVNZ and brought the mess that was the Wellington Regional Strategy under control. But The Hive suggests that Capital and Coast will be his biggest challenge yet.
