§ Sir B. Strossasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that dispensing for out-patients at the Middlesex Hospital has ceased owing to shortage of staff; and whether he will give an estimate of the extra annual cost which will be borne by the hospital as a result of the prescribing by outside chemists.
§ Mr. BraineThe dispensary closed last week and will re-open as soon as possible; if it were closed for a year the extra cost of prescribing would be about £16,000.
