HC Deb 16 July 1968 vol 768 c185W
38. Mr. Brooks

asked the Minister of Health whether he will publish the details of the various fees for family planning services which local health authorities are empowered to charge under regulations made under the Family Planning Act; and whether he has approved all those which have so far been submitted to him.

Mr. K. Robinson

I have given local health authorities a general approval to charge for prescriptions and contraceptive supplies in non-medical cases, but under the terms of the Act the scale of charges if made is at the discretion of the authority and does not require my approval.
