The amount spent on the sexual health campaign referred to by the Deputy is as follows:
Year | Total Funding |
â'¬ | |
2000 | 106,000 |
2001 | 112,000 |
2002 | 164,000 |
2003 | 193,000 |
2004 | 165,000 |
An evaluation of the programme was undertaken in 2000 which informed the development of the most recent campaign. In addition, throughout the development phase, individual campaign messages are focus group tested with the target populations. Plans for an evaluation of the current approach are under way and it is expected that this evaluation will take place in May 2005.
