HC Deb 09 June 1967 vol 747 cc281-2W
Mr. Moonman

asked the Minister of Health how many local health authorities undertake health education in their areas; and to what extent is this provided in schools.

Mr. K. Robinson

All local health authorities undertake health education using a wide range of skilled staff and techniques. Although information is riot available about the extent to which health education is provided in schools, there is no doubt that it plays a considerable and increasing rôle in school curricula.
