HC Deb 17 December 1957 vol 580 c28W
59. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the discussions with the medical profession for additional multiple packs, to which only the 1s. charge should apply, are complete; and why they have lasted over a year.

Mr. Maclay

The discussions on the suggestions that have so far been made for multiple packs are complete, and a proposal for a new dressings pack is now under consideration by the manufacturers. The profession and the health departments have agreed that it would be impracticable to devise a pack for diabetic and T.B. patients or a dressings pack for colostomy patients that would meet the varied needs of a sufficient number of patients to make their production useful.
