§ Dr. Stuttafordasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the cost to his Department of producing the Health Education Council's posters on contraception in 1970–71; how many local authorities accepted these posters for display; how many Family Planning Association clinics accepted these posters for display; and what are the number and value of those still left in store.
§ Mr. AlisonThe funds which are made available to the Health Education Council are related to broad topics and not to detailed plans for campaigns of publicity material. Out of funds set aside for publicity on contraception one poster has been produced by the Health Education Council at a total cost of £1,140, of which the costs incurred in 1970–71 were about £500.
317WCopies of this poster were circulated to all local authorities, many of which asked for additional copies. To date about 11,000 copies have been issued to local authorities. About 3,800 have also been issued to the Family Planning Association for use in its clinics. 10,500 posters, at an approximate value of £250, are still held by the Health Education Council.
