§ 28. Mr. Ian TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what current action is being taken in the fight against AIDS.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyThe Government continue to attach great importance to action to prevent the spread of HIV infection. We are supporting a wide range of programmes to achieve this through local authorities and health authorities, voluntary bodies and the Health Education Authority, whose latest mass media campaign was launched on 14 February 1990. Further details of the Government's approach can be found in "AIDS: Response by the Government to the Seventh Report from the Social Services Committee Session 1988–89" (Cm 925), published last November, a copy of which is available in the Library.
