independence

A code of conduct has been created to ensure that the MEB operates in an independent and impartial manner. It specifies that employees and members of the MEB may not perform or be involved in any functions or relationships outside the MEB that could impair the MEB’s impartiality or independence.

MEB code of conduct
The Code of Conduct describes the standards of behaviour which all members and employees of the MEB must uphold when acting on the organisation's behalf. The Code of Conduct ensures the integrity, independence and impartiality of the MEB, its members and employees.

MEB employees are civil servants working for the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport and perform a particular public role in society. Failure of a civil servant to respect the rules of conduct could undermine the confidence of citizens in the government. That is why MEB staff are also required to behave in accordance with the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport's codes of conduct.
