While
recruitment is underway, Bennett says the Board has
appointed experienced public sector leader Brendan Boyle as
Pharmac’s Acting Chief Executive. He will start at Pharmac
on Monday 31 March, for a period of up to six months. He
takes over from Sarah Fitt, whose last day in the Pharmac
office is 28 March.

Brendan
Boyle has previously been the Chief Executive of the
Ministry of Social Development, Department of Internal
Affairs, and Land Information New Zealand. He has also held
roles within the health sector, including as a Board member
of the Capital & Coast District Health
Board.

“Pharmac has a big work programme ahead and
Brendan’s wealth of experience delivering what New
Zealanders need will lay the foundations of the reset for
when the permanent Chief Executive is appointed,” says
Bennett.
