HC Deb 08 December 1992 vol 215 c630W
22. Mr. Gunnell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans she has to increase prescription charges; and if she will make a statement.

Dr. Mawhinney

Judgments are made each year about how finite health resources can be best targeted for maximum health gain. Prescription charges are one aspect of these considerations. Any announcements will be made at the appropriate time.
