63918 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: Has she received independent advice that has informed her decision-making in any other policy areas apart from the efficacy of HTPs as a smoking cessation tool, if so, what was it and who wrote it?

Hon Casey Costello: The Member should be well aware that Ministers receive a wide range of advice and should, as a matter of course, consider diverse viewpoints when making decisions or seeking decisions from Cabinet. To provide a comprehensive list for the Member is both impractical and does not take into account the iterative and evolving nature of policy development.
