HEALTH—WORLD HEPATITIS DAYSenator Pratt, pursuant to notice of motion not objected to as a formal motion, moved general business notice of motion no. 885—That the Senate— (a) notes that: (i) 28 July was World Hepatitis Day, (ii) the event is one of only 4 official world disease awareness days endorsed by the World Health Organization, (iii) chronic hepatitis C is a large and growing health problem in Australia with more than 200 000 people living with the disease, (iv) left untreated, hepatitis C can possibly lead to liver damage, cancer and death, (v) hepatitis C has now eclipsed HIV/AIDS as the number one viral killer in Australia, (vi) hepatitis C can be cured with the appropriate treatment, (vii) needle and syringe programs have proven effective in relation to preventing transmission of hepatitis B and hepatitis C as well as HIV, and (viii) hepatitis C disproportionately impacts on the Indigenous community with Indigenous people representing less than 3 per cent of the total Australian population but more than 8 per cent of the Australian population infected with hepatitis C; and (b) welcomes scientific and treatment advances that greatly increase the chance of curing patients with the most common and hardest to treat strain of hepatitis C. Statement by leave: Senator Pratt, by leave, made a statement relating to the motion. Question put and passed.
