The start day of the pre-hearing into the inquest has been corrected to Thursday (August 14).
The first steps of an inquest into the death of Auckland health boss Pauline Hanna gets under way on Thursday, with a pre-hearing conference at North Shore District Court.
Hanna, who managed the roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine as an executive director at Counties Manukau Health, died in her Remuera home on 5 April, 2021.
Her husband, former Auckland eye surgeon Philip Polkinghorne, was found not guilty of her murder after an eight-week trial that dominated headlines last year.

The pre-hearing conference to discuss inquest details will be held before Coroner Tania Tetitaha.
The full inquest is expected to start next year.
