The Star Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Thursday May 11 2017 11 News Warning over CDHB conflicts • By Gabrielle Stuart HEALTH BOARD members have been told they should have made a decision on the conflict of interest which lead to the resignation of former chairman Murray Cleverley. Mr Cleverley (left) resigned last month after an investigation into potential conflicts of interest, including around a building the Canterbury District health Board leased. Mr Cleverley told the other health board members about the potential conflict last year, but they allowed him to decide how to handle it. But speaking at a CDHB meeting, senior corporate solicitor Greg Brogden told health board members they were all responsible for making a collective decision about how conflicts were handled. “It would be wrong for a board member to say I think I have managed this situation, and for you to carry on. You’re all responsible for perceived or direct conflict,” he told the board. INVESTIGATED: Former Canterbury District Health Board chairman Murray Cleverley was also director of a company which owns an Oxford Tce building leased by the CDHB. The conflict related to a building on Oxford Tce which was bought by Silverfin Capital Ltd in December last year on behalf of a syndicate of investors, and leased to the CDHB. Mr Cleverley became a director of Silverfin in May last year. He included the company on his list of CDHB interests that month, but did not flag it as a potential conflict of interest until August, when Silverfin was in the process of buying the building. The Ministry of Health then asked Mr Cleverley for an explanation. It was told Mr Cleverley would stay out of any decisions around the building, but those were unlikely to happen while he was CDHB chairman. That was because the CDHB had signed a long-term lease of the building in 2014, and the lease was not up for renegotiation until 2030. The building was sold to Silverfin in December, but the CDHB, as tenant of the building, was not involved in the deal. The Ministry of Health discussed the issue with the State Services Commission, and they decided the “optimal solution” would be for Mr Cleverley to resign from Silverfin. But when that was put to Mr Cleverley, he refused to resign. During the later investigation, Mr Cleverley told investigator Michael Heron QC: “Their view that I should resign from Silverfin was to me naively uncommercial, somewhat insulting to me (by implying I might not be trustworthy), and not justified on the facts.” Mr Heron concluded Mr Cleverley was entitled to take the position he did, but resigning from the directorship would have been “the prudent and cautious course of action here.” Mr Cleverley also part-owned an investment company with former CERA employees Gerard Gallagher and Simon Nikoloff, who the investigation found had committed “serious misconduct.” Three other former CERA employees are now being investigated for potential conflicts of interest. Call for strict conditions on dredging plan • By Bridget Rutherford MARINE FARMERS have called for strict conditions to be put in place if Lyttelton Port of Christchurch’s dredging plan goes ahead. LPC has applied for resource consent to deepen, widen and lengthen the current navigation channel to let larger container ships in in an $80- $130 million project. The farmers want strict conditions, including comprehensive monitoring, if the consent was granted to protect marine life. In his hearing submission, Ngai Tahu Seafoods marine biologist Thomas Hildebrand said the dredging could add stress to paua, rock lobster, mussels and their habitats. LPC has done comprehensive studies on the effects of marine life, but Mr Hilderbrand said they did not address the effects on paua. The proposal says the 18 million cu m of sediment removed would be dumped about 6km off shore from Godley Head. Mr Hildebrand said the sediment could drift, or bury rock lobster passing through the dumping area.
