Non-executive directors

The non-executive directors provide an external viewpoint to our decision making. They bring an independent opinion on issues of strategy, planning, performance, and standards. Although they advise and question, they don't make executive decisions and remain independent. They must remain free from any other relationships within government that might interfere with their role. Our non-executive directors are:

• Anne Tutt
• Linda Walton
• Janet Finch
