I'm not suggesting this is the correct way to do it, but I would put
those methods in the model definitions to which they relate. Then they
are accessible from any controller that 'uses' that model in addition
to its own. Then you can say something like:
$organisations= $this->Person->Organisation->formData();
$genders = $this->Person->Gender->formData();
...and so on...
