Steinar Stokke (born 8 October 1955) is a Norwegian businessperson and former civil servant, with prominent positions in the health sector.
Arntsen was supported by deputy chair Helen Bjørnøy and board member Ole Johan Sandvand, but was voted down by the rest of the board (Kaare Norum, Einfrid Halvorsen, Anne Mo Grimdalen, Terje Keyn, Morten Falkenberg and Svein Øverland).
Arntsen subsequently had to resign, but in response, the Minister of Health Dagfinn Høybråten promptly relieved the entire board of their positions.
[11] An entirely new board was composed in early February, led by Erling Valvik,[12] and after less than two weeks, Stokke resigned.
[16] Eventually he became involved in the venture Oslo Cancer Cluster together with Ansgar Gabrielsen, who had succeeded Dagfinn Høybråten as Minister of Health in June 2004 and served as such for one year.
[19] In addition to Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation Park, Steinar Stokke is a board member of Csam Health and Helse og Idrettsbygg; chair of Steinar Stokke Invest and both board member and managing director of Oslo Næringseiendom and Pharmacy Invest.
