HC Deb 11 May 1999 vol 331 cc134-5W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health in what types of location copies of the leaflet associated with the Breaking the Chain campaign on domestic violence have been placed, and in what numbers. [83566]

Ms Jowell

Distribution agreed by the Department included a broad range of health settings and all social services departments and other voluntary child care organisations. One copy each of the leaflet and poster was sent to all general practitioner practices in England (around 9,500) in the GP pack at the end of March 1999, with the opportunity to request as many more copies as they require.

Ten copies of the leaflet and one of the poster are shortly to be sent to all trust nurse directors in England (402) to be placed in hospital patient information racks, again with a form for ordering additional copies to meet local requirements.

Additional supplies of both leaflets and posters are available from Departmental stores as and when needed within local areas.
