Establishment of interim First Nations Health Authority
At the Gathering Wisdom for a Shared Journey IV forum, First Nations endorsed Resolution 2011-01, the Consensus Paper: BC First Nations Perspectives on a New Health Governance Arrangement, and the British Columbia Tripartite Framework Agreement on First Nation Health Governance. Specifically, the Consensus Paper states:Following approval of this consensus paper and the signing of the Framework Agreement, the FNHC will direct the First Nations Health Society to take steps to amend its bylaws to become the interim FNHA and begin the early steps in implementing the new health governance arrangement”
The FNHC has followed this direction and on December 20th, (in their role as members of the First Nations Health Society) passed by consensus a resolution to amend the bylaws of the FNHS and transform it into the interim First Nations Health Authority.
