This document is clearly informed by the NTPCDS, but only specifically mentions the PCDS interms of prevention, detection and the management of kidney disease prior to it progressing toend stage renal disease. It is only one of a large number of policy frameworks that are intendedto promote healthy living in Australia and the NT.Table 3.4 provides a summary of other general policies that complement the NTPCDS and Table3.5 provides a list of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander specific policies.Table 3.4Policies for all Australians1996 - present National Diabetes Services Scheme Commonwealth1999-2002/03 National Tobacco Strategy 1999 to 2002-03: A Framework for Action National1999-2003 Healthy Horizons 1999-2003.

For example: the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nutrition Strategy andAction Plan includes only one limited-tenure national appointment responsible for itsimplementation.Review of health promotion activitiesIn March 2005, Convery undertook an Audit of the Health Promotion activities for the previousyear (61) . She particularly examined Alcohol and Other Drugs, Mental Health, Preventable ChronicDisease, and Child and Family Health. The audit identified 33 interventions including 10 in thearea of Preventable Chronic Diseases. Only one of these was identified as being NT-wide, and atleast four of these ten were located in the Top End only. Convery attempted to categorise thesefurther and found one targeted skin health, and one targeted women‟s health (61) . These areprobably peripheral to the main thrust of the PCDS. Two programs targeted chronic diseaseworkers‟ skills, representing the previous emphasis on capacity building. Four programs targetedchronic disease information and awareness and two targeted various community-identifiedissues.Overall, about half of the interventions were delivered by staff from the relevant program areas,7 of the 33 interventions were led by Aboriginal staff, and only 9 of the 33 had a person withhealth promotion training in a lead role. This review suggests that overall, only a small number ofhealth promotion activities have occurred in the time frame covered, and that many of thesewere localised (61) . This raises the issue of whether more programs were actually present butwere not apparent in this review, and recalls the comments of the 2003 review that healthpromotion ran the risk of resource depletion and becoming „invisible‟.Chapter 3: Progress Against PCDS Objectives – Evaluation of the NT Preventable Chronic Disease Strategy 2007 45
