The Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield was greeted by hundreds of protesters this morning when he arrived at a meeting with the beleaguered Canterbury District Health Board.

The top public health official called the meeting after seven of the board's top executives resigned in recent weeks, and as the board attempts to make $57 million of savings to its budget.
