Innovation Directorate, Ministry of Health 02 HEHA ACTION REPORT, JANUARY 08, ISSUE 07 ESPONSE RECEIVED Some of the Government Response recommendations included: • The establishment of a Ministerial Committee, chaired by the Minister of Health, to provide high-level, strong, whole-of-government leadership with a focus on improving the obesogenic environments. The Ministerial Committee will also work alongside a steering group to set agreed targets. The group will include non-government organisations, academics, Maori- and Pacifi c representatives and the food and advertising industries. • Expansion of the Fruit in Schools programme to all Decile 2 schools. This will mean that around 450 low-decile schools will be part of Fruit in Schools by April 2009. • Further investment in workforce development to build Maori- and Pacifi c capability and capacity and enhancement of the diabetes workforce. The Government will also support scholarships with a focus on the need to increase the number of Maori- and Pacifi c dietitians in the health workforce. Cynthia says many of the issues raised in the HSC’s report have already begun to be addressed. However, the Ministry recog- nises that the current HEHA Strategy needs to be reviewed and strengthened to ensure we continue to improve the health of all New Zealanders.

    STRATEGY AND POLICY COMMITTEE 8 FEBRUARY 2007 Report 9 (1215/52/IM) NZ WALKING CONFERENCE REPORT BACK 1. Purpose of Report To report back to Councillors on the 2006 NZ Walking Conference. 2. Recommendations It is recommended that the Committee: 1. Receive the information. 3. The Conference The NZ Walking Conference was held in Christchurch in November 2006, following on from Walk21 – the Seventh International Walking Conference in Melbourne. Cr Celia Wade-Brown and Julie Alexander, Senior Policy Advisor attended this two-day conference. I travelled to Christchurch by bus, ferry, train and foot, which was cheaper and generated less CO2 than flying. Some attendees offset the carbon from their trips using the Landcare EBEX21 programme see www.ebex21.co.nz . It is a biennial conference, alternating with the NZ Cycling Conference. The conference was organised by Living Streets Aotearoa. Sponsors included Land Transport New Zealand, Transit, the Health Sponsorship Council and other companies and organisations. Attendees included transport engineers, planners, community workers, road safety staff, academics, policy advisors, researchers, recreation planners, health promoters, councillors and students. There was a wide geographic spread from Queenstown and Greymouth in the South Island to Whangarei and Whakatane as well as all the main centres. Overseas attendees came from Canada, Switzerland and the UK. 4. Content and Key Messages The 2006 NZ Walking Conference was held at a time when walking is becoming a visible mode again. The Ministry of Transport and Land Transport NZ are leading the implementation of Getting There: by foot, by cycle, the New Zealand Walking and Cycling Strategy.

Some road controlling authorities (RCAs) and transportation practitioners are using or proposing to use cycle symbols for reasons other than defining legal cycle lanes. A traffic engineering tool used overseas is an advisory pavement marking treatment indicating or advising road users of the potential presence of cyclists and of the location where cyclists may be expected to ride on a road. Under New ZeDODQG¶VSUHVHQWUXOHV this tool cannot be used. In addition to this, many RCAs are devising non-standard signs and markings for cycling, in some cases to address similar issues.
