New Chief Executive for Franklin Hospice
Franklin Hospice has a new Chief Executive in Sue Marshall, who has been working in primary care for nearly a decade.
After eight years of senior management roles at Tamaki Health and Counties Medical, and a stint as CEO of the Kate Edger Educational Charitable Trust, Marshall is excited to grow the hospice further.
“There is a growing need for this vital service, in challenging economic times,” Marshall said.
“I am excited to take up this role and ensure that we are able to meet demand and provide more for our patients and their whanau.”
Outgoing CE Ric Odom served the Hospice for five and a half years, as demand for its services more than doubled.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
