Hi All

Peter Saxton is making a submission to the  Ministry of Health in his capacity as a member of the Expert Advisory Board, Sexual Orientation Data Collection Project on behalf of a group of individual researchers and stakeholders.

In the submission he argues for the inclusion of sexual orientation in the proposed Ministry of Health’s New Zealand Health Survey (NZHS), which currently omits sexual orientation as a core sociodemographic variable. The proposed NZHS is designed to replace the existing government programme of official health surveys in this country.

I’ve been invited to be a  signatory on behalf of the Sexuality Education Roundtable. I have to reply by Thursday, April 29th. Unless I hear otherwise from any participants I intend to go ahead as a signatory in the name of the SER. You can download the submission on the Documents page of this website if you’d like to read it.

Let me know if you have any concerns.

Sincerely,

Brian King
