Van Schaayk is the former regional president of the Americas for McCain Foods and former president and chief operating officer of Ben’s Bakery.

Health Minister Randy Delorey says he’s asked van Schaaye to work with board members to determine the best way to make board information more accessible to the public.

The move comes after it was revealed Health Authority Board meetings are not open to the public.

George Unsworth from Sydney also sits on the Board.
