HC Deb 23 September 1948 vol 456 cc150-1W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the dispensation of doctors' prescriptions has, since the introduction of the Health Service, increased by more than 100 per cent.; and what steps he is taking to meet this situation.

Mr. Bevan

I am not aware that chemists generally are experiencing difficulty in coping with the increased volume of dispensing.
