HC Deb 25 February 1985 vol 74 c68W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will initiate a publicity campaign to promote the role of hand washing in reducing the incidence of diarrhoea.

Mr. John Patten

The Health Education Council already promotes the importance of hand washing in preventing the dissemination of various diarrhoeal diseases by way of a range of leaflets and posters. I shall arrange for examples to be sent to the hon. Member.
