Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Household Burns.

32.

asked the Minister for Health if he will consider the issue of leaflets or advertisements providing details of the treatment of household burns on a similar basis to those issued concerning alcoholism.

The health education campaign undertaken by the Department of Health includes information and advice to householders on precautions to be taken to avoid accidents in the home. Press and television publicity has been used and, in addition, a leaflet entitled Home, Safe Home has been widely distributed. The leaflet specifies, inter alia, precautions which should be taken to avoid household burns and gives advice on steps to be taken should an accident arise. I shall send a copy of the leaflet to the Deputy.
