HC Deb 29 October 1957 vol 575 c39W
Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the difficulties being encountered by local authorities in trying to attract chemists to open shops on new housing estates; and if he will discuss with the appropriate professional and trade associations the need to provide a more adequate dispensing service.

Mr. Walker-Smith

So far as I am aware patients are put to no unreasonable inconvenience in obtaining the medicines they need, but if the hon. Member has in mind any case of special difficulty I shall be glad to have particulars.
