Questions that Tony Abbott, former Minister for Health & Ageing, or Peter Dutton, shadow Minister for Health & Ageing to ask Nicola Roxon, Minister for Health & Ageing

 

Why did Shaun Larkin, one of seven members of the National Preventive Health Taskforce, e-mail Philip Johnston on 31 July 2008 5:18 PM included:

"Input and content such as you have provided is very much appreciated by me in my role as a member of the National Preventive Health Taskforce.  I suggest you forward a copy of the information provided to Peter Morris at the Department of Health and Ageing."

Why did Dr Rob Moodie, Chair of the National Preventive Health Taskforce, write to Philip Johnston on 2 April 2009:

            "Best wishes for continued development of the programme." 

 

Why did Peter Morris, Assistant Secretary, Population Health Strategy Unit, Population Health Division, Department of Health & Ageing write to Philip Johnston on 2 July 2009:

 

             "The Government will consider on merit any recommendations the Taskforce may make concerning support for physical programmes in physical activity."

 

Why did the National Preventive Health Taskforce not recommend Youthful Exuberance Lifestyle Programme in its Final Report to the Minister for Health & Ageing?

 

Please provide the Taskforce's separate SWOT Analysis (used to evaluate the public submissions which the Taskforce invited) for each of the Five Business Plans in the First National Preventive Health Research Programme submitted by Philip Johnston, so that Mr Johnston may evaluate what the Taskforce considered to be the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of the Five Business Plans in his First National Preventive Health Research Programme.

 

Why did item 367 of the APPENDIX 4: Submissions to the Preventive Health Taskforce to the Taskforce's Final Report list a 100 page First Business Plan with over 300 Defined Terms, an Executive Summary, a Four Year Budget Costing with over 4,000 URLs to navigate the Five Business Plans, as:

367

YELP Program Concept

Why did APPENDIX 4: Submissions to the Preventive Health Taskforce to the Taskforce's Final Report not provide a URL to explanatory information for YELP when Appendix 4 provided a URL to explanatory information for almost all of the other submissions, but rather the Final Report noted:

"A number of organisations provided multiple submissions, bringing the total number of submissions (as distinct for organisations) to 397.

These submissions can be found on the Preventive Health Taskforce website at www.Preventivehealth.org.au.  Some submissions have not been published on the website at the request of the author(s)."

Mr. Johnston did not request anyone not to publish a link to Youthful Exuberance Lifestyle Programme on the Preventive Health Taskforce - Submissions webpage or not to publish a file(s) that explains YELP such as the definition of Youthful Exuberance Lifestyle Programme, First Business Plan or the Executive Summary.  

Why has the Minister for Health & Ageing, the Prime Minister of Australia and Dr. Rob Moodie failed to respond to Philip Johnston's letters requesting a meeting with Dr. Rob Moodie to discuss Mr. Johnston's Two National Preventive Health Research Programmes.
