The Combined Delegations Manual contains administrative, financial and staff delegations of powers and functions that have been delegated by the Minister for Health, the Secretary and the Health Administration Corporation for the Ministry of Health.
The manual is currently undergoing review, with the first chapter completed being the finance and expenditure delegations. The update to the chapter has been significant in that it has been renumbered, legislative and policy references have been updated and some delegations have been merged and/or deleted.
For the revised finance and expenditure delegations please refer to the separate PDF document titled 'Finance and Expenditure Delegations (NEW)'.
The former finance and expenditure delegations will remain active in 2024. During this time, the new finance and expenditure delegations take precedence and any reliance or use of the former delegations should be undertaken only on the advice from the Corporate Governance and Risk Management unit.
