ADAVB comments on climate change Green Paper

The ADAVB has called on the State Government to create a positive vision for sustainable health services and reward good practice rather than inaction by adjusting the tax and utility pricing regimes.
Commenting on the Victorian Climate Change Green Paper, the Branch makes a number recommendations including that the Government should make budgetary and logistical provision for the installation of ISO 11 143 compliant amalgam separators in all public dental clinics by 2012. The Branch also urges for the encouragement of other States to follow EPA Victoria and Victorian water authorities to provide rebates for dental practices which install ISO 11 143 compliant amalgam separators.
