Thank you very much, and thank you all for being here today.
I'm sitting here and listening somewhat in bewilderment. I'm substituting in, as you can see, so I've not been part of the earlier discussion, but what I'm hearing is that the reduction of sodium makes a dramatic difference. I'm hearing that there don't seem to be clear targets, although we just heard a figure of trying to reach 2,300 milligrams in 2016.
I'm making notes as you're speaking. Somebody said “when the results come more quickly”. That was one comment. Engaging the whole population was another.
I'm struck by the discrepancy in the urgency of reducing sodium, the importance of it as a health preventative, and the lack of goals or targets set by government, coupled with the lack of public information that goes out there. And how do you marry it all? I would be interested in hearing your comments.
