HC Deb 15 December 1969 vol 793 c915
29. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he is taking on the representations made to him by the National Health Service Executive Council for North-East London about the decline in pharmaceutical services serving the National Health Service in North-East London.

Dr. John Dunwoody

The North-East London Executive Council advocated a planned distribution of pharmacies. As my right hon. Friend indicated in his reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Dagenham (Mr. Parker) on 17th November, the first report of a committee set up by the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain to consider the introduction of a measure of control over the location of pharmacies is receiving consideration in my Department.—[Vol. 791, c. 195.]
