Dear Richard

Many thanks for getting in touch and for your observations. You're right, there are many nuances and complexities underlying ethnic differences in health, and also around defining ethnicity itself. You're also right about the role of geography.

His analytical skills and collaborative approach made a complex task feel manageable and meaningful. We're incredibly grateful for his time and expertise.

I was also really interested and impressed by your HNA/JSNA inventory. This will be really helpful for us to evidence the need for the regional migrant health needs assessment I am undertaking. It’s saved me a considerable amount of time. So Many thanks

Hi Richard

Would you like some time on the agenda to present this to the heads?  There has been a lot of discussion about this type of resource nationally so I think it would be useful.

PS this is a really useful document.

Thank you so much for sending these across and the additional information, really useful.

A historic one in 2020, from Igor Driesmans, EU Ambassador to ASEAN.

Your addresses showcased, among other important aspects, ways in which information can be utilised for the development and evaluation of policies.

Your solid academic and professional background constituted an important asset for the workshop series, which was acknowledged by the participants, as reflected by the good feedback at the end of the workshops.”
