Poll: Should a commissioner replace Waikato DHB members?
Two weeks ago, Health Minister David Clark announced he was thinking of installing a commissioner to run Waikato DHB.
He told the health board members he was "seriously dissatisfied with their performance", and gave them two weeks to respond.
That time is up at 5pm on Friday, May 3 and the minister has said he's likely to make a decision next week.
If he decides on a commissioner, the board will be sacked.
The commissioner can then appoint up to three deputies to help oversee health services around the region.

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
