About the Committee
The Central Regional Ethics Committee is a Ministerial committee established under
section 11 of the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000. Its members
are appointed by the Minister of Health through the public appointments process.
The primary function of the Committee is to provide independent ethical review of
health research and innovative practice in order to safeguard the rights, health and
wellbeing of consumers and research participants and, in particular, those persons
with diminished autonomy.
The Committee has primary responsibility for ethics committee review of health and
disability research and innovative practice occurring in the following District Health
Board regions:







Taranaki
Whanganui
Midcentral
Hawkes Bay
Capital and Coast
Wairarapa
Hutt Valley.
The Committee is required by its Terms of Reference to submit an Annual Report to
the Minister of Health. The Annual Report must include information on the
membership of the Committee, a summary of the applications reviewed during the
year, details of any complaints received (and how they were resolved), and areas of
review that caused difficulty in making decisions, among other matters.
Approvals and registrations
The Central Regional Ethics Committee is approved by the Health Research
Council’s Ethics Committee for the purposes of section 25(1)(c) of the Health
Research Council Act 1990.
The Central Regional Ethics Committee is registered (number IRB00004666) with
the United States’ Office for Human Research Protections. This registration enables
the committee to review research conducted or supported by the US Department of
Health and Human Services.

Chairperson’s report
It is a privilege to present this report on behalf of the Central Regional Ethics
Committee.
I have only had six months with the Committee, being appointed in June. I would like
to acknowledge Deputy Chair Professor Mark Weatherall for his support and
dedication to his role, during this time, both as Acting Chairman and Biostatistician.
Mark is now moving on to other avenues and his expertise will be sorely missed.
Thanks must also go to Helen Colebrook, past Chair, for her guidance of the
Committee over the years. Joe Asghar and Nina Sawicki have also retired from the
Committee, with Paul Barnett, Angela Ballantyne and Gael Donoghue joining it.
A very successful training day for new members of all committees was held in
November. These days are essential when guidelines can be open to interpretation
and ensures that committees are in sync.
A Chair’s day was held in August, which was of great benefit to me not only as an
information source but also to meet with the Chairs of the other committees and
share any problems we may be experiencing.
The 2010-year for the Central Committee saw a slight decrease in the number of
applications compared with 2009 with fifty percent of these being by expedited
review. Expedited reviews place an increased workload on the Chair and Deputy
Chair but on balance means that timelines are improved.
The turn around time of any application that comes before the Committee is reliant
on the quality of documentation. This is particularly noticeable with student
applications where, I feel; their supervisors don’t always give them the support and
guidance necessary to provide a well completed document.
As with all applications time is wasted waiting for all the required documentation.
The Administrator to our Committee, Sonia Scott with back up from Jacqi Bartlett,
carries a large workload. She deserves a huge vote of thanks not only from the
Committee for their efforts but also from the researchers as she constantly updates
the research protocol files with frequent amendments and ensure that the correct
documentation is received.
Lastly thank you to our Committee, you have been a huge support, we are working
well as a team, which can only benefit the process we are in place to manage.
