HC Deb 10 June 1997 vol 295 cc432-3W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland by what means her Department makes available its publications in(a) Braille, (b) audio tape and (c) large print; and how this is publicised. [1663]

Mr. Worthington

The Department of Health and Social Services has adopted a policy that all documents addressed to the workforce or the public should be in a reasonably large font and should also be considered for publication in alternative formats such as Braille, large print, audio or video tape.

All published documents contact information on the availability of the document in alternative formats.

The Department also works closely with the appropriate voluntary bodies in the drafting and distribution of material published in alternative formats.
