Martin Whitely Biography

Martin Whitely is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on October 19, 1959 in Western Australia, Australia.

From 1995 until his election to parliament in 2001, Whitely was a secondary school teacher. During this period Western Australian ADHD child prescribing rates rose rapidly. By 2000 they were among the highest in the world and over twice the per-capita rate in of the second highest Australian state (New South Wales).

In his first parliamentary speech (2001) he called for tighter ADHD prescribing controls. In late December 2002 the Western Australian Health Minister Bob Kucera and Whitely jointly announced the abolition of “en bloc authorisation” which allowed “specialists to prescribe stimulants without individual patient authorisation”. In August 2003 the Stimulant Regulatory Scheme began collecting detailed annual reporting of ADHD stimulant in Western Australia. Data from the Stimulant Regulatory Scheme shows after these changes the number of Western Australian children prescribing stimulants fell from 8,859 in 2004 to 5,636 in 2010, despite the state’s population increasing by approximately 17%. This approximates to a 46% decrease in per capita ADHD stimulant child prescribing rates over this period.
