“Mark has had a positive impact on Pegasus, in both the role as chief operating officer and in the role as acting chief executive. The Board looks forward to working with him as we focus on improving the health of people who live in Canterbury, and making Canterbury the best place to provide and receive primary care,” he said.

I am supported by a strong leadership team and dedicated high performing staff. Together, I believe we can continue to make a positive difference to the health of the community and to strengthen the role of primary care in underpinning the health system,” Mr Liddle said.
