NEAC Annual Report for 2007

NEAC’s Annual Report 2007 has been presented to the Minister of Health and has been tabled in the House of Representatives. The 2007 annual report states NEAC’s approach to its policy work on services and research ethics, and sets out NEAC’s activities for 2007.

A major achievement for the Committee was completion of its public health project on pandemic planning with the publication of Getting Through Together: Ethical values for a pandemic (July 2007), which was recognised by the World Health Organization.

The Committee also made contributions in the area of health system design and workforce issues. This included developing a ‘pathway’ approach to the provision of elective services and providing draft advice on the relationship between the professional ethical principle of ‘do no harm’ and the practice of withdrawing labour as a method of industrial action in the health sector.

NEAC also continued its work on quality and safety, making significant progress on its development of guidelines for intervention studies.

This annual report contains details of NEAC’s projects, committee membership, and secretariat information.
