According to the DHB's latest annual report Dr Karen Poutasi was paid just over 30 thousand dollars for about 24 days of work.
She took charge of the DHB after Minister of Health Dr David Clark sacked the 11 member board.
When he announced Poutasi's appointment he said she would work two to three days per week - it's unclear whether she might have worked more, bringing the daily rate down.
