<DIV><SPAN class=734061615-07122003><STRONG>Thank you for all your work on this
as it it no easy task given the diversity of interests. I have reviewed
and noticed that the recommendation in paragraph 4 of the Conclusion
section, the reference to mental and physical health has inadvertently been
omitted from previous versions. It is important to include mental and
physical health as in many countries mental health is disconnected from
medical care. </STRONG></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=734061615-07122003><STRONG>Including mental and physical health
in the conclusions is very important as is not only reflects consistency with
the preceding document as to the importance of mental and
physical health, but often when documents are referred to, frequently only the
conclusions are published. Therefore, it is critical to revise
the paragraph to read as below, including reference to both physical and mental
health and well-being as a human right, and also access to physical and mental
health care as opposed to medical care.</STRONG></SPAN></DIV>

the Conclusion section to read as follows:</STRONG></SPAN></DIV>
