Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what projects his Department instigated in respect of National Continence Week.

Mr. Ancram

The Department of Health and Social Services funded an advertising campaign on television and in the local press during National Continence Week which was supported with editorial coverage. It produced and distributed more than 50,000 leaflets, posters and stickers to promote the national help and advice line and encourage sufferers to seek treatment. The Department also collaborated with health and social services boards in drawing up a full programme of local events.
