" Child labour and dangerous working conditions are being used in the production of NHS supplies, a new report has claimed. The British Medical Association (BMA), which conducted a study into the sourcing of NHS products, has called for unethical working practices to be eliminated in the manufacture of supplies for UK hospitals. Its medical fair and ethical trade group has launched a new information campaign to make doctors aware of its findings. It follows a BMA survey of 383 doctors which found that, while eight in ten doctors were supportive of the NHS purchasing goods that are ethically sourced, only one in ten were aware of fair and ethically made medical supplies. Dr Mahmood Bhutta, BMA advisor on the medical fair and ethical trade group, said: &amp;#039;It is clear from this survey that doctors are very supportive of the idea of the NHS buying ethically sourced products, but more needs to be done to raise awareness. &amp;#039;Some of the workers in the developing world making medical supplies bound for the NHS are exposed to hazardous working conditions where they risk serious injury and even death,&amp;#039; he continued. &amp;#039;There is also evidence that children as young as seven are risking their lives to supply us with equipment to save British lives.&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
