HC Deb 27 July 1965 vol 717 c94W
Mr. Maxwell

asked the Minister of Health if he will now issue the necessary instructions to enable doctors to prescribe disposable syringes under the National Health Service.

Mr. K. Robinson

Disposable syringes will be available free of charge to National Health Service general practitioners for their own use as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made with suppliers. Glass syringes are more appropriate for use by patients and can already be prescribed for that purpose.
