§ Mr. Blenkinsopasked the Minister of Health whether he will advise all hospitals to exempt from payment of any 9W prescription charge all out-patients who are in receipt of National Assistance benefit or are suffering from a war disability to avoid the hardship that may be caused by insisting on initial payment with a right of reimbursement.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodNo initial payment is contemplated in these hospital cases on production of the appropriate evidence and hospital authorities have so been advised.
