HC Deb 25 November 1948 vol 458 c133W
62. Mr. York

asked the Minister of Health whether he will take steps to provide for the supply free of charge of medicines and drugs prescribed by school medical officers at school clinics.

Mr. Bevan

I understand that medicines supplied at a school clinic would be supplied without charge. If the school medical officer thinks a pupil requires other medicines, he can refer the patient to his National Health Service doctor, who could prescribe for free supply under the Service.
