HC Deb 07 April 1949 vol 463 cc2187-8
15. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Minister of Health whether he is satisfied that the operation of the dispensing, testing, or analysis scheme will safeguard adequately the standards of medicines supplied on Form E.C.10, since previous testing applied only to medicines compounded and dispensed by pharmacists, compounded medicaments supplied by manufacturing and wholesale firms having been exempt from this inspection.

Mr. Bevan

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Skinnard

Does that mean that these compounded medicines will be examined during the visits of the inspectors to the pharmacists?

Mr. Bevan

There is now a double test there is a test upon the manufacturing side, and upon the chemist.
