But we do support, also, the progressive expansion of the roles and functions of what is now the public health agency to enable it to advise, plan, and fund evidence-based health promotion services. We support those kinds of services that create supportive physical and social environments and empower communities to identify their own needs and be part of the solution. For this to be a transformational and visionary health system, it cannot be that you're just telling people what to do; it is not going to work. People need to be empowered to take control of their own lives and their own bodies, and how they look after themselves, and given support when they need it.
