During February, 2014 I received letters of resignation from 3 Board Members of the Health Information and Quality Authority. All three resigned in order to reduce the risk of any real, potential or perceived conflicts of interest arising from their membership of the Board of the Authority. I appreciate and understand the difficult decision that they have made which was taken in the best interests of the Authority.
