SUE KEDGLEY (Chairperson of the Health Committee) Link to this
The Health Committee has received 41 submissions on the Human Tissue (Organ Donation) Amendment Bill.
Madam SPEAKERThe Health Committee does have a busy schedule, as we are in the middle of hearing our inquiry into the obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics in New Zealand, and we have 12 petitions before us. However, we are hoping to hear submissions on the member’s bill in October. I might add that, despite the Health Committee’s busy schedule, we are always keen to have briefings from Ministers, and we are looking forward to a briefing from the Minister of State Services, who declined to appear before our committee during the estimates hearings to brief us on the Trans-Tasman therapeutic goods agency.
