Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Health what was the average cost per prescription under the National Health Service in each full financial year since the Service began based on constant prices in the first year.

On present information, for the reason given in my reply of 4th July, which I am explaining more fully in a letter to my hon. and gallant Friend, I regret that it is not possible for me to provide the figures asked for.
