Dr. Murphy spoke about the intervention of a particularly good public health nurse, which is heartening to hear. As a parent, I know certain visits take place where measurements are taken and information is stored. What effect would it have if we increased public health nurse intervention throughout a child's life to include recommendations on healthy eating, sporting participation, height-weight, the PMI index and other clinical steps? How many extra nurses would we need to deliver that?
