The ACT Division of General Practice, Parkinson’s ACT, Bosom Buddies, Health Care Consumers, continence promotion continuing care program, the Stroke Association of the ACT, Diabetes ACT, Creative Therapies, lung life support group, People with a Disability ACT, pain support group, MS Australia, ANU Centre for Health Stewardship, ACT Hepatitis Resource Centre, RSI and Overuse Injury Association, Catholic Care, Red Cross, Motor Neurone Disease Association and the Asthma Foundation of the ACT—it was wonderful to see all of those organisations together under the umbrella of SHOUT, raising the awareness and assisting people by providing information to people who suffer from chronic conditions on how they can self-manage those conditions.
The one point I would make is that we need to do all that we can to promote that event and certainly it is a point that I can bring forward to the minister. It is good to see her here to listen to this point. The expo itself, although very well attended by all of the organisations and indeed by ACT Health, could be better attended by people that actually suffer from chronic conditions so that they could make best use of the expo. So I ask the minister to look at what methods she could use to advertise that expo when it is held next year.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 12.19 am (Friday) until Tuesday, 28 June 2011, at 10 am.
