Motion Passed by Belfast City Council

 

Following our work with Sinn Féin during recent months Councillor Tierna Cunningham proposed a motion to Belfast City Council at  their meeting on Monday 3rd December 2007 calling upon the Council to take action to combat the spread of HIV infection and AIDS and to challenge the stigma that these diagnoses can bring.

 

The motion also called upon the Minister for Health to work with The HIV Support Centre to initiate a programme to create enhanced awareness of HIV and AIDS particularly amongst young people.

 

The motion was passed unanimously.
