ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks are due to a large number of people for their help in preparing this book. Georgina Jones’s account of her time on Council formed a very sound basis for the present book, and she has been extensively quoted.
Former Chairs of Council Tony Baird, Robin Briant, and John Adams gave generously of their time in providing historical detail and reflections on the issues Council faced during their respective tenures. Bill Brabazon, a former Council member, provided interesting detail about the 1970s. Ian St George provided important insights derived from his long association with the Medical Council, particularly about the development of Cole’s Medical practice in New Zealand and the development of continuing professional development strategy. John Buchanan provided valuable information about the Brych affair and proofread that chapter to ensure accuracy. Dr Joanna MacDonald’s article in Medical Council News provided the basis for the section
on the work of the Health Committee. John Nacey and Steven Lillis are to be thanked for their thoughtful and detailed contributions to the education and New Zealand Registration Examination sections
