Mr. Chris Macey:

I have not heard of what Senator Burke mentioned and it is cause for concern. It has been shown that GPs have a major role in areas such as this. For example, when GPs get involved in smoking cessation, it has a major effect. Obesity is similar and I would be concerned if health-care professionals on the front line do not feel it is something they can discuss. There are sensitive issues here, but these are professional people who are well used to dealing with such sensitive issues. I am somewhat surprised. I will carry out some investigations and come back to the Senator on it.
