§ 23. Dr. Dickson Mahonasked the Minister of Health if he will ensure that incontinence pads are made freely available on form E.C.10 by their inclusion in the official list.
§ Mr. BraineMy right hon. Friend has this proposal under consideration.
§ Dr. MabonFor how long is there to continue to be discrimination against patients who, by chance, have to live in England and Wales? We in Scotland have been sensible enough already to have these on the official list. Will the Joint Parliamentary Secretary look at the official lists of both countries to see if it is time that discrimination of this peculiar kind should be removed?
§ Mr. BraineI am willing to concede that there is great strength in the hon. Member's argument. As I have said, my right hon. Friend is now considering this matter.
