HC Deb 10 February 1913 vol 48 c495W
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether any arrangements have been made whereby doctors on the panel who are homœopaths may themselves supply their patients with drugs, and, in particular, with such drugs as are not usually kept in stock by the ordinary chemist?

Mr. MASTERMAN

If an insured person were unable to obtain from a chemist on the panel the drugs prescribed as part of medical benefit by a homœopathic doctor on the panel, the insurance committee of the area have power under Section 30 of the Medical Benefit Regulations to make special arrangements for the doctor himself to supply the drugs to the patient.
