HC Deb 10 December 1956 vol 562 c9W
70. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider enabling pensioners who are entitled to claim rebate in respect of medical prescriptions to avoid attending a post office for this purpose by arranging that the doctor should indicate on the prescription the entitlement of the pensioner to be relieved of payment for prescriptions or by the chemist recording the number of the pensioner's book.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

I fear that neither arrangement would be practicable.
