§ 28. Mr. Marksasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consult the British Medical Association and other appropriate bodies regarding their views about exempting sufferers from Parkinson's disease from prescription charges.
§ Mr. AlisonNo. The question of extending the list of specified medical conditions qualifying for exemption from prescription charges has been discussed with the British Medical Association twice during the past 12 months and we are satisfied that no useful purpose would be served by raising the matter again.
