Show Notes
Questions have been asked as to whether health policies are backed by the latest science.
That's what researchers are asking as they call on the Government to improve the way health policy makers are informed.
The 'Healthier Lives National Science Challenge' group wants systems put in place to ensure health policy makers have access to robust, up to date scientific evidence.
They also want mechanisms for prioritising issues.
Head of AUT’s Public Health department Dr. Heather Came joined Kate Hawkesby.
