End of Life Choice Bill
Proposed amendment
Joanne Hayes, in Committee, to move the following amendment:
Clause 19
After clause 19(3) (page 14, after line 9), insert:
(4)
The Director-General must publish, in a manner readily accessible to the public, an up-to-date list of the members of the SCENZ Group, including at minimum a brief description of the relevant qualifications and experience of each member.
Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the End of Life Choice Bill. It proposes a measure of transparency and accountability in relation to the members of the SCENZ Group.
The proposed legislation accords huge significance to this body, and it would be highly undesirable for its members to be unknown or unknowable. The qualifications and experience of the members are important details that should be publicly available if New Zealanders are to be confident that those appointed to these roles are well suited to fulfil them.
