The Green and National Parties have today released a proposal to establish a new stand-alone New Zealand regulator for natural health products.
Green Party Health Spokesperson Sue Kedgley has been collaborating with Health Minister Tony Ryall and Associate Health Minister Jonathan Coleman on the proposal. This work is part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the Greens and National in April 2009.
I spoke to Sue about the proposal - why it's needed, what it sets out to achieve, and what the process is from here.
I also caught up with Co-Leader Russel Norman about the MOU between the Greens and National in light of this announcement.
You can read the consultation document here.
This week's music is from Auckland-based "chamber pop" outfit Canadia, off their most recent EP Beg Steal and Burrow.
