Comments sought on kids’ health issues
Health Canada is inviting comment from Canadians online until June 29, 2007, on how it can better contribute to enhancing the health of children and youth. This is a great opportunity for advocates for child and youth injury prevention to have their say.
The Minister of Health, Tony Clement, has appointed Dr. Khristinn Kellie Leitch as his Advisor on Healthy Children and Youth. Dr. Leitch will make recommendations regarding ways in which the federal government can better contribute to healthy living outcomes for Canada’s children and youth.
The 10-day consultation on the health issues facing Canada’s children and youth began on June 19 and runs until June 29. Health Canada is welcoming comments from everyone.
