HC Deb 06 March 1979 vol 963 c617W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the cost to the National Health Service of each stoma pouch in the translet colosafe and translet supreme ranges.

Mr. Deakins

So far as supplies for use in hospitals are concerned, it is not the practice to disclose the prices which are agreed with my Department. I can, however, say that the prices paid for these articles are not significantly different from those paid for similar products from other manufacturers.

So far as supply by retail pharmacists is concerned, there is no centrally agreed price for these products.
