HUSH Raises Awareness

11th August 2004

Two members of HUSH kindly agreed to appear on "Talking Scotland" slots that are presently running after the lunchtime and evening news on Scottish Television. Sponsored by the Scottish Executive who are keen to raise awareness of environmental contamination, these one minute slots allow the members to put forward their own experiences of dealing with E.coli O157 when their children became infected.

The slots will run for one week and form an opener for the main campaign that will commence in Spring 2005.
