HC Deb 23 October 1952 vol 505 c125W
26. Mr. McKay

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the prescription books, Form E.C. 10, supplied to doctors have so little space for doctors to write on that they are being compelled to use two forms for one prescription and to sign each official form, and that the chemists are charging 2s. to the patients; and, in order to avoid these complications, if he will provide new forms with adequate spacing for prescriptions.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Each item ordered by a doctor is a prescription. The form gives ample space for writing at least two prescriptions.
