I would not necessarily agree entirely with Ms Morrissey. I believe that people do have concern, needing to do the right thing in certain circumstances. In the previous part of the meeting we spoke about colour coding the danger areas and so on, insofar as diet is concerned. I believe that is effective and can concern people about their future and the future of their health. I believe they are concerned about that and they will react to it in their own interests. A visit to some of our hospitals - for instance, those treating diabetes and amputations - can be quite graphic when it comes to advertising what the alternatives are and that should and can be used effectively as well.
