| Description: | The Health Education Authority is undertaking a major folic acid campaign, over the next two and a half
years, funded by the Department of Health. This is in response to the report of a UK Expert Advisory
Group which recommended that to reduce the risk of first-time occurrence of neural tube defects
(NTDs) all women, prior to conception and during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, should increase their
folic acid and folate intake by 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) a day |
