2005 Annual Report

Once again on behalf of the Trustees (Murray Tilyard, Graham Crombie and myself), I am pleased to present this Annual Report for the South Link Education Trust.

Our funds are invested in a balanced portfolio of asset classes and are managed on a day-to-day basis by Forsyth Barr Ltd. During the year we have met regularly with our Fund Managers and have adjusted the ratios of asset classes in line with their advice. We are pleased with the results.

In the 2004/05 financial year the Trust has assisted a number of projects:

  1. The Trust has written to the leaders of General Practice in New Zealand, to request their assistance in planning the contribution we wish to make to the global wellbeing of primary care in our country. The identified leaders were:
    • Heads of Department of General Practice at Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland
    • CEO of The Royal NZ College of General Practitioners
    • Chairs of ProCare Health, Pegasus Health, Wellington IPA and IPA Council of New Zealand
    • GP Council Chair for NZ Medical Association.

  2. We are investigating the provision of an 'Occasional Paper' series by different authors on the subject of 'Primary Care in New Zealand - The Future'. These papers would be presented at one of the South Link Health Inc. residential meetings and would then be published. A lecture tour may also be undertaken.
  3. The Queenstown South Link Health Inc. 'Celebration of General Practice' residential weekend, held in August 2004, was a highlight of the 2004/05 financial year. We extended our support for this initiative in 2005.
  4. The May 2005 IPAC Conference in Christchurch was supported with a major travel grant for the keynote speakers. We do not anticipate this level of continued support for future IPAC conferences.
  5. The second cycle of the 'Update General Practice Books' programme was well supported. The third and last cycle will occur in 2006 with refunds of self purchased books offered.
  6. The second cycle of the Otago Medical School 'Matagouri Club' funding was contributed.

In summary we have had a successful year without any issues requiring major expenditure of funds. The Trust's reserves have grown by a small amount.

The Trustees look forward to continued systematic expenditure of income to support General Practice in the South Island.
