HC Deb 15 April 1965 vol 710 c239W
Mr. Walden

asked the Minister of Health if he will discontinue the practice of his Department in paying the highest market price of a given drug to a chemist dispensing National Health prescriptions, even where it is known that a cheaper brand of the same drug has in fact been dispensed.

Mr. K. Robinson

This question does not arise, since the Drug Tariff provides that chemists shall be reimbursed the net price for the product actually dispensed. They have recently been reminded of this rule.
