Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Health): I'm happy to respond, as best I can, to Mr Watts' question. I think the role of that expert advisory committee on public health is really to deal principally with epidemiological issues and to look at the technical and clinical information coming locally but, more often, from overseas to understand what is happening with our population-based health issues that we need to be addressing, what are the non-communicable diseases that we all struggle to deal with, and the various community interests that go to influence decisions on that. That's what that committee is really set up for.
