HC Deb 06 December 1951 vol 494 c293W
84. Mr. Houghton

asked the Minister of Health when he proposes to allow private patients of medical practitioners in the National Health Service to get medicines and drugs without charge.

Mr. Crookshank

The National Health Service Acts limit this provision to those who are receiving general medical services under the Acts, and it is not intended to introduce legislation to remove this limitation.
