and to recognise changes in work in society," she told OH managers at a
launch of guidance on audit.

"OH nurses are critical to the Government’s work on public
health," she added. "I would look to them to take a lead in assessing
what is needed in the workplace."
A second discussion forum on the Government’s public health policy strategy
Making a Difference is planned by the leading groups of OH professionals next
month.
