HC Deb 04 July 1956 vol 555 c116W
Sir L. Plummer

asked the Minister of Health the average cost of prescriptions filled by the dispensaries of general hospitals and of similar prescriptions filled by chemists.

Mr. Turton

The cost of drugs and dressings supplied by hospital dispensaries is not divided as between in-patients and out-patients, and therefore there is no basis for this statistical comparison.
