Current Hawke's Bay District Health Board chairman Kevin Atkinson, pharmacist Peter Dunkerley and Hastings District Councillor Jacoby Poulain have all been elected to the new board in preliminary election results released this evening.
This result is based upon the counting of approximately 98% of the returned voting papers.
