Associate Health Minister Damien O’Connor says he
welcomes the decision by the Ministry of Health to seek
State Services Commission advice in a review of its current
contracts with NGOs advocating non-smoking activities.
“I
have been advised such contracts have been in place for a
decade, when they were devised by a Crown entity, but it is
important that they should be reviewed to ensure the funding
is appropriate. I will await the outcome of the review with
interest.”
