HC Deb 03 March 1958 vol 583 c91W
Mr. Blenkinsop

asked the Minister of Health the losses incurred by non-collection of prescription charges from dispensing doctors in 1953–54, 1954–55, 1955–56 and 1956–57, respectively.

Mr. Walker-Smith

It is not possible to give precise figures on reliable estimates; but the executive councils take up individual cases where the amounts collected seem inadequate.
