Three new District Health Board chairs have been announced for Auckland's three DHBs, after Lester Levy, who chaired Auckland, Waitemata and Counties-Manukau, resigned last year.

Health Minister Dr David Clark announced the change this morning.

Pat Snedden will lead the Auckland DHB from June 1, Judy McGregor is the new Waitemata DHB chair from June 10 and Vui Mark Gosche has been appointed the Counties-Manukau DHB chair from May 3.

A Crown Monitor has been appointed to the Counties-Manukau DHB, after a range of issues surfaced at Middlemore Hospital this year.
