The preparation of the Health in Hunter New England, 2005, was a team effort. The report was adapted from the State of the Health in the Hunter Report 2003 internet version. For this we wish to acknowledge the work of the persons associated with the production of the 2003 report, specifically the work of Tim Sladden. The report was modelled on the NSW Chief Health Officer's Report - the health of the people of NSW (CHO). Many persons were involved in the production of the original CHO report, see: internet version, intranet version.
The following list indicates the broad roles played by the many contributors to Health of Hunter New England (2005) report.

Rider: The information presented in this report result from analyses of a variety of social and health focused datasets. These datasets originate from a variety of sources including Hunter New England Health, the NSW Department of Health, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The timing of the release of these data to third parties is controlled by the owner of these data. It is therefore possible for these organisations to publish data that they have not yet made available to Hunter New England Population Health for analysis and release. Users should therefore check the publications of these organisations as it is possible that they may have published even more up to date information on Hunter New England than those available in this report. As this report is an ongoing project, the indicators presented will be updated as soon as possible after the release of all datasets to Hunter New England Population Health.
