‘Condom Caygill’?
Being called “Condom Caygill” does not worry the Minister of Health, Mr Caygill. While visiting health facilities and talking to health officials in Taranaki, Mr Caygill said he was given the label by Mr John Kennedy, editor of the Catholic newspaper, the “Tablet.” Mr Kennedy has criticised the Health Department A.I.D.S. campaign, which promotes the use of condoms to lessen the risk of catching A.I.D.S. Mr Caygill said he was not interested in name-calling and believed the campaign was worth while. “A.I.D.S. is a fatal disease with no cure and we are struggling with our limited treatments to slow its spread. What we are trying to do is help people avoid catching the disease, by using condoms.” — PA.
