• Leading continuous improvement through the Terms of Reference and group evaluations.
• Ensuring that appropriate CCN Work Plans are developed and contribute to the Canterbury health system’s Strategic Focus.
• Ensuring delivery on the Child & Youth Health Work Plan priorities is monitored effectively, with timely reporting to the Programme Office and Alliance Leadership Team, as required.
