HC Deb 27 April 1964 vol 694 c4W
42. Mr. Oram

asked the Minister of Health if he will require more informative labelling of drugs dispensed to patients.

Mr. Barber

There are legal requirements as to the labelling of drugs supplied otherwise than on prescription, and these requirements are being reviewed. With regard to drugs supplied on prescription, the view has always been taken that the doctor should decide, in the interests of the patient, what information should appear on the label.
