KS reported that HINZ had a good year and gave thanks to the hard working Exec.  Tom Bowden has resigned from the Exec and KS thanked him for all his efforts in ensuring the on going success of the HINZ Seminar Series.  KS announced that Health On Line was to become the official journal of HINZ.  Dave Monks was invited to act as the HINZ representative for Primary Care Systems Standards Group.  HISO has also expressed an interest in creating a more closer working relationship with HINZ.

HINZ/NZHUG/NZHITC have all agreed to share administration resources.

KS congratulated 2004 Conference committee for job well done and announced the new dates for the 2005 conference 3-5 August, to be held at Sky City, Auckland.  Committee agreed that there should be a stronger push for more clinicians to attend.  PR extended a challenge to the incoming Exec to increase the record breaking numbers of the 2004 conference for next year and the Call for Papers should be announced before the end of this year!  Also encourage vendors to ask their customers to share they success stories and submit joint papers.
