Health Minister Lawrence Springborg today revealed the membership of a new ministerial committee to manage $2.6 million in Queensland Health funding previously allocated to the Queensland Association for Healthy Communities, a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender health organisation.
The new committee will be chaired by the director of the Cairns Sexual Health Service, Darren Russell.
Mr Springborg's statement said Dr Russell had worked in the field of HIV medicine since 1990 and was the national president of the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations from 2003 to 2006.
Also included on the list of members is Dave Graham, who made headlines when he revealed his sexuality on the Big Brother reality television show in 2006.
