ODPH Letter regarding PHNCAC

ODPH commends the Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport, and the Chronic Disease Prevention Managers for recognizing the need to examine issues related to public health nutrition capacity in Ontario. We recognize there are health units across the province where recruitment and retention of public health nutritionists and public health dietitians are problematic. The letter makes several recommendations which include having an ODPH representative on the Public Health Nutritionist Capacity Advisory Committee (PHNCAC).
