HC Deb 04 May 1964 vol 694 c115W
42. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Minister of Health what arrangements are made to maintain urgently needed services when all-night chemist services cease.

Mr. Braine

Doctors are required by their terms of service to supply medicaments needed for immediate use before a supply can otherwise be obtained; and chemists living on or near their premises are usually willing to dispense at any time prescriptions which a doctor has marked as urgent.
