§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services to what extent the new scheme for distributing free samples of Ortho-Novin 1/50 Dialpak contravenes the terms and conditions governing pharmacists and doctors within the National Health Service; if the promotional costs of this are taken into consideration in the Voluntary Price Regulation Scheme; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. AlisonI understand that the manufacturers have decided to withdraw this scheme, which related to prescriptions outside the National Health Service.
