HC Deb 31 July 1952 vol 504 c159W
53. Mr. Yates

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that there is considerable discrepancy in the practice of doctors as to the number of prescriptions they put on one form; and if he will take steps to alter doctors' terms of service to ensure that greater conformity is reached in this respect.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The need may vary in different cases. I am not clear that it would be an advantage to import further requirements into doctors' terms of service.
