HC Deb 19 May 1986 vol 98 c62W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what resources he has allocated to the Health Education Council for its programme on whooping cough.

Mr. Whitney

In the year ending March 1986, the Health Education Council, which is Government funded, allocated 100,000 towards a whooping cough campaign which the Department augmented with a further £480,000. The scope for additional effort in this field during 1986–87 is being assessed with the council.
