HC Deb 28 January 1957 vol 563 c99W
19. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the Executive Council for the County of Essex considers that the new prescription charges will cause hardship, and have asked for their amendment; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.

Mr. Vosper

The Executive Council has written to me on this subject. I do not consider that any action is required but, as indicated by my predecessor, the working of the new arrangements is being closely watched.
