WINZ Advisory Group 2003 Meeting on 28 March

The WINZ Advisory Group (WAG) will meet in Christchurch on Friday 28 March 2003. About 18 people, representing DHBs, local authorities and other WINZ users, meet together with Ministry of Health and ESR to discuss issues, progress and development ideas for WINZ and drinking-water quality.

Any WINZ user with issues or ideas along these lines is welcome to share them with Alexander Kouzminov (MoH) or Barry Mattingley (ESR), who will, where appropriate, bring them to the notice of the meeting.

Alternatively, if you know someone else or work in the same area as someone on the list of WAG 2003 Representatives below, you can informally contact them with your thoughts in the next few weeks. Be aware that they are just fellow users, with full time-jobs to manage, but the more widely they can represent user viewpoints then the better it must be for the overall programme.
