HC Deb 02 May 1996 vol 276 c604W
Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the changes from April in the system for commissioning national health promotion work on HIV and AIDS. [27176]

Mr. Horam

The Government's HIV-AIDS health promotion strategy1, published in November 1995, identifies the need for targeted and national campaigns and for greater voluntary sector involvement in this area. A contract to undertake a national campaign in the coming year has been awarded to the Health Education Authority. We are currently exploring the scope for greater voluntary sector involvement with targeted campaigns.
