- Delivery of Strategy and Government Response On 30 June the Taskforce delivered a suite of documents to the Minister: - Overview - The Roadmap – a detailed Strategy outlining a strategic way forward for prevention in relation to obesity , tobacco and alcohol and of the infrastructure needed to support and sustain actions in the longer term. - Three technical documents containing the latest international and national evidence on obesity, tobacco and alcohol. Documents are available in hard copy on request to DoHA and on line at www.preventativehealth.org.au
- The following two slides provide historical perspectives of prevention (tobacco control measures and road traffic accident strategies) that have been progressive, determined, comprehensive and sustained.
- A new national capacity will be developed. A capacity to effectively monitor, evaluate and build evidence. The Government through COAG has already committed to a National Prevention Agency – this will facilitate a national prevention research infrastructure to answer research questions about what works best, provide resources and advice for national state and local policies, generate new partnerships for workplace, school ad community interventions, assist in development of a prevention workforce and coordinate a national approach to social marketing. If we implement the tobacco strategies , approximately one million fewer Australians will smoke and the premature deaths of almost 300,000 Australians now living will be prevented between now and 2020 from just the four main diseases caused by smoking. We will also see significant decreases in Indigenous smoking. Source: Hurley S, Spittal M. Scollo M, Durkin S, Wakefield M. 2009 Predicted impact of proposed tobacco control strategies. Cancer Council Victoria – paper commissioned by the Preventative Health Taskforce. If we reach the targets for alcohol the proportion of Australians who drink at short term risky levels will drop from 20% to 14% and the proportion of those drinking at long term risky levels will drop form 10% to 7%, resulting in prevention of premature deaths of more than 7,200 Australians and prevention of some 94,000 fewer person years of life lost. The impact will be seen in 330,000 fewer hospitalisations and 1.5million fewer bed days at a cost saving for the health sector of nearly $2 billion by 2020.

NDRI Curtin University – Paper commissioned by the NPHTF. If upward trends in overweight and obesity continue there will be approximately 1.75 million deaths at ages 20+ years and 10.3 million years of life lost at ages 20-74 caused by overweight and obesity in Australia 2011-2050. Each Australian aged 20 –74 who dies from obesity between 2011 and 2050 will lose on average 12 years of life before the age of 75. As a first measure, If we can just stabilise obesity at current levels we can prevent the premature deaths of ½ a million people between now and 2050.

- Key Result Areas Improve the safety of people who drink and those around them Increase public awareness and reshape attitudes to promote a safer drinking culture in Australia – through social marketing and public education and by embedding themes and messages within a broad range of preventative health policies and programs Regulate alcohol promotion especially through regulation of promotions which have high exposure to young people; through stronger enforcement of player’s behaviour and alcohol consumption within sporting codes, labelling of products and counter advertising of healthy products. Reform alcohol taxation and pricing arrangements to discourage harmful drinking – including new modelling to advise a rationalised tax and excise regime that will discourage harmful consumption and promote safer use; establish a minimum floor price for alcohol products and direct a proportion of revenue from alcohol tax towards initiatives that prevent alcohol related societal harm. Improve the health of Indigenous Australians through improved access to health services, support for locally developed initiatives, improved data systems for collection and analysis of population statistics on alcohol and drug use among Indigenous people, trial of alcohol diversion programs, and increased availability of night patrols and sobering up shelters in appropriate locations. Strengthen, skill and support primary healthcare to help people make healthy choices by enhancement of alcohol related training for PHC providers and development of a comprehensive network of referral services and programs between PHC and other relevant services. Build healthy children and families with particular recognition of the need to protect the health and safety of child and adolescent brain development; support for parents in managing alcohol issues at all stages of their children’s development and improved data collection. Support through development of a strong evidence base including development of a system for nationally consistent collection and management of alcohol wholesale data; development of a core set of national indicators on alcohol consumption and social impacts, expansion of current data sets and better use of existing key datasets on the harm to drinkers and harm to others.

- Significantly increase the price of tobacco products . Increasing price is one of the most effective measures for government to take to reduce consumption and prevalence (World Bank. Curbing the Epidemic. Governments and the Economics of tobacco control. Washington. World Bank 1999) Increase the frequency, reach and intensity of social marketing campaigns . Well funded social marketing campaigns rank second only to price as a key to reducing smoking. End all forms of advertising and promotion of tobacco products. The US Cancer Institute concludes a causal relationship between the promotion of tobacco and increased tobacco use. (National Cancer Institute, Theoretical underpinnings of medico-research in tobacco control and tobacco promotion. In The role of the Media Smoking and and Tobacco Control monograph No 19. Dept of Human Services, 2008). Eliminate exposure to second hand smoke in public places . Significant health risks are posed by exposure to smoke from tobacco products smoked by other people. No level of exposure is free of risk. At particular risk: - the young,who lack control over their environment; and the socially disadvantaged, who are more likely to be exposed at home and elsewhere in their community. ( US Dept of Health and Human Services. The health consequences of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke: report of the surgeon general . Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Office of Smoking and Health 2006). Further regulate manufacturing, packaging and supply of tobacco products including: - Uniform licensing and monitoring of retail outlets; - National best practice prevention of sales to minors program. - Consumer product information - Introduction of reduced fire-risk cigarettes - Packaging eg design, contents and emissions; - Consider legal action against tobacco companies to recover health related and other costs. (See slides 29-36 for more detail on actions)
- Ensure all smokers in contact with health services are encouraged/supported to quit Work in partnership with Indigenous groups to reduce smoking and exposure to tobacco among Indigenous Australians Boost efforts to discourage smoking in other highly disadvantaged groups Educate parents to protect young people from second hand smoke Ensure the public, media, politicians and other opinion leaders remain aware of the need for sustained and vigorous action to discourage tobacco use Ensure implementation, keep momentum going and measure progress towards targets
- Australia, a world leader in the battle against smoking, stays in pole position with the government there announcing plans, from July, 2012, to force cigarette manufacturers to remove all branding colours and logos from cigarette packs.
