Review of Toi te Taiao: the Bioethics Council

When Toi te Taiao: the Bioethics Council was established by Cabinet in 2002 it was a new initiative and Cabinet intended that it be reviewed after two years.

“The terms of the review were not specified in the Cabinet paper or Minute but the purpose was to provide an opportunity to consider whether there was any value in establishing the Bioethics Council as a statutory or more formal independent body or altering its TOR in any way.” ^{[From draft paper by MfE, "Bioethics Council Review – notes on possible ToR", undated, p.1, item 2. The quote is from para 17, Cabinet Minute POL (02) 117, 13 May 2002.]}

Toi te Taiao: the Bioethics Council was invited to contribute to the Terms of Reference for the Review. Our proposal is attached as Annex 4.
