Dr WOOLDRIDGE (Minister for Health and Aged Care) (1:12 PM)
—I move:
That the amendments be agreed to.
This bill amends the National Health and Medical Research Council Act 1992 to streamline the council's processes so it can more effectively maintain its role as a national leader in the field of public health research and advice. Additional amendments became necessary following the Health and Medical Research Strategic Review and cover two main issues. Firstly, the amendments make provision for the minister to approve the council's strategic plan providing a greater degree of transparency and accountability. Secondly, the amendments allow for the appointment of chief executive officer of the council, while repealing the existing position of secretary of the council. The opposition has also moved amendments to ensure that a timetable will be published each year, which will give researchers time to plan ahead for the next projects. The government is happy to accept the amendments. I thank members and senators for their contribution to the debate.
