Such interests may affect, or have the appearance of affecting, a person’s view on the merits of certain HTA policies or methods. The existence of such interests may be a ‘conflict of interest’. A conflict of interest is declared so that information provided can be assessed fairly and in a transparent manner. The declarations are confidential and do not prevent anyone from providing their comments. A conflict of interest can be declared, but does not mean a person should not still provide their comments.

  1. current shareholdings
