A new oversight committee formed to help the Government convert the National Public Health Emergency Team's (NPHET) advice into practical guidelines has met for the first time.

Chaired by the State’s most senior civil servant, Martin Fraser, the group will analyse recommendations made by public health officials before presenting workable options to the cabinet.
