Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes.
For written feedback, based on the Terms of Reference, for the independent review of nursing education - Educating the Nurse of the Future - by 30 June 2019.
We received 83 written submissions and these have now been published (scroll down to view).
All written correspondence received has been passed onto the independent reviewer undertaking the Review, Emeritus Professor Steven Schwartz. Professor Schwartz is currently writing his final report which is due to be submitted to Government at the end of August 2019.
We asked for feedback, supported by, evidence on draft food category definitions and reformulation targets for sodium, sugars and saturated fat.
Submissions were detailed and included specific points for clarification, as well as suggestions for amending targets, and identifying potential risks and challenges associated with a nutrient reformulation program. Thankyou for this feedback.
The Reformulation Working Group (RWG) is currently considering all submissions and a report summarising these and the RWG's recommendations is being prepared. Work is continuing on summary reports for sugars and saturated fat targets. Further targeted consultation on categories in which a significant change is proposed will be undertaken.
The RWG will finalise the reformulation targets in two stages –
Stage 1 - A recommendation about food categories with only a sodium target.
Stage 2 - Consideration of targets for saturated fats, sugars, or sodium plus sugars/ saturated fat.
Keep an eye on the Healthy Food Partnership website for updates.
