The issue concerns research into transplanted tracheas seeded with the patient’s own stem cells, a technique which has been used experimentally in a number of operations at University College London (UCL) and, in one case, Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). The scientists who spoke out are Patricia Murray, grants totalling almost £8m from the European professor of cellular and molecular physiology at the Commission and Innovate UK, says the BMJ report.

  • No. 12 Ms Alison Greig
    Submission No 12 THE PROMOTION OF FALSE OR MISLEADING HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION OR PRACTICES Name: Ms Alison Greig Date Received: 13/12/2013 The Hon Leslie Williams Committee on Health Care Complaints Commission Parliament House Macquarie Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 13 December 2013 By email [email protected] PURPOSE OF SUBMISSION AND SCALE OF INQUIRY In response to the invitation by the Committee for submissions to the inquiry into the ‘promotion of false or misleading health-related information or practices’ we thank you for the opportunity for making this submission. INTRODUCTION We note that the inquiry terms of reference include: (1) inquiring into and reporting upon measures to address the promotion of ‘unscientific’ health- related information or practices that depart from ‘accepted medical practice’ which may be detrimental to individual or public health, with focus on individuals and organisations that are not ‘recognised’ health practitioners (Terms of Reference (a), (b) and (c)). (2) the adequacy of the powers of the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) to investigate such individuals or organisations; and (3) the capacity, appropriateness and effectiveness of the HCCC to take enforcement action against such individuals or organisations. We will address the inquiry terms of reference regarding (2) and (3) together below. Before we do so, we address point (1) in the section immediately following. We understand that the expression ‘unrecognised’ health practitioner (as used in the inquiry terms) refers to a health practitioner who is not subject to the registration scheme under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law for the reason that the Law does not specifically extend to the services that the practitioner offers.

  • The Aboriginal Question: Enough Is Enough!
    1 The Aboriginal Question: Enough is Enough! Paper delivered to the 29th Conference of The Samuel Griffith Society by John Stone Perth, 27 August, 2017 2 The Aboriginal Question: Enough is Enough! I begin with a welcome to country – a welcome to our country. In doing so I take as my model that employed by Alan Anderson in commencing his paper1 at our 21st Conference in Adelaide. So let me begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of this land: King George III and his heirs and assigns. Introduction: I first list some matters that arise when discussing Aboriginal questions: • I refer throughout to Aboriginal people, not Indigenous ones. Most people here, I imagine, are indigenous (i.e., native-born) Australians, and the Orwellian arrogation of that term by the Aboriginal industry should not be condoned. • I refer throughout only to Aboriginal people, not to the job lot term Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The latter – a Melanesian people – do not like being lumped in with their mainland counterparts, whom they rightly regard as having been Stone Age “hunter gatherer” nomads; by contrast, Melanesians developed agricultural gardens and settled land holdings to go with them. • I reject the pretentious terms “First Peoples” or “First Nations”. This United Nations-derived terminology asserts Aboriginal superiority over the rest of us, whereas a foundation stone of our nation is that we are all, and equally, Australians. I am giving this paper because, having observed Aboriginal politics for the past 50 years, it’s time to say, “It’s over”. Our once seemingly boundless goodwill towards our Aboriginal fellow Australians is becoming exhausted.
