"The Health of the Nation"

HC Deb 23 July 1993 vol 229 cc513-4W

Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the cost of the "The Health of the Nation" anniversary events programme.

Mr. Sackville

Most of the publications and material produced during the first anniversary of Health of the Nation were fulfilling commitments set out in the White Paper or were an integral part of taking work on implementation forward. The exception was "CMO's Challenge", which was developed and launched as a specific initiative to take forward action on the findings of the first English health survey. The cost of "CMO's Challenge" was £15,000.
