CANNABIS —
DRIVER IMPAIRMENT
509. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Health:
I thank the minister for her
response to my question of yesterday regarding the ministerial working group
looking into driving and THC. Although I am disappointed that little or no
progress has made in establishing the group in the last six months, I am
heartened to learn that it will eventually include people with lived
experience.
(1) Is the
minister able to explain how those individuals with lived experience will be
selected?
(2) Will the
government advertise or does it have another means of identifying suitable
candidates?
(3) If the
intention is to advertise, when are those adverts scheduled to go public?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided by the
Minister for Health.
(1)–(3) The
Chief Health Officer is sending letters seeking the nomination of a person with
relevant lived experience to a health consumer organisation.
