§ 72. Dame Joan Vickersasked the Minister of Health what is the cost to the National Health Service of a 6d. packet of aspirins if prescribed by a general practitioner for a patient.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe total payment to a chemist for dispensing the prescription would be about 2s. 8d. depending on the cost of the ingredients, of which more than 2s. 4d. represents fiat rate payments based on a fair average return per prescription to the chemist.
