HC Deb 13 November 1989 vol 160 c46W
Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the drugs on which a double prescription charge is levied.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The general rule is that each drug or appliance which is supplied attracts a single prescription charge. If more than one drug is supplied, whether packaged together or separately, more than one charge is payable.
