Senator Ludwig: The Minister for Health has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question: (1) This data is not readily available in a consolidated form that could be easily drawn upon and the Department of Health and Ageing is unable to compile the requested data as this would involve significant diversion of resources from other departmental operations. (2) Information on consultations are set out in relevant Annual Regulatory Plans (ARP) for the Department of Health and Ageing and relevant portfolio agencies. These can be found at: Agency Website – ARP Department of Health and Ageing http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/Regulatory-Plan-2012-2013 Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency http://www.arpansa.gov.au/AboutUs/Corporate/regplan.cfm Private Health Insurance Administration Council http://www.phiac.gov.au/for-industry/regulatory-activities/annual-regulatory-plan/ Information in addition to this is not readily available and it would take a significant diversion of resources from other departmental operations in order to compile the data requested.
