§
Lords Amendment No. 4: In page 9. line 9, at end insert:
and those restrictions do not apply to any thing which is done in a hospital or a health centre by or under the supervision of a pharmacist and consists of preparing a stock of medicinal products with a view to dispensing them as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) of this section.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Mr. Julian Snow)I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
The House will recall that under the Clause authority was given to exempt pharmacists from licensing provisions otherwise applicable in the matter of stock mixtures. The Amendment merely extends such authority to the preparation of stock mixtures in hospitals and in health centres, subject to their being prepared under the supervision of a pharmacist.
§ Question put and agreed to.
