NHS bosses combat the devastating legacy of casual sex

If nothing else, the chlamydia epidemic has given the NHS the opportunity to blow taxpayers' money in more imaginative ways than normal. In Northamptonshire, those tested for chlamydia have their names put into a monthly draw for one of a number of Nintendo Wii games consoles (at a cost of £160 each). In Camden, North London, there are iPods up for grabs; in Nottinghamshire, it's a £1,000 Fujitsu laptop; while in Northumberland, it is a £2,000 holiday. Fancy a night out at the flicks? In Colchester, self-testing kits are being sent to 26,000 youngsters. Everyone who sends back their results will receive a £10 Odeon cinema voucher. Daily Mail
