HC Deb 01 June 1965 vol 713 c191W
60. Mr. Parkin

asked the Minister of Health if he will take steps to ensure that the established practice of hospitals in checking the individual consumption of doses of Schedule Four poisons is now extended to wholesalers and dispensing chemists co-operating with general practitioners in the National Health Service.

Mr. K. Robinson

I am not sure what my hon. Friend has in mind. Only those caring for a patient at home are able to check what quantities of a dispensed medicine the patient actually consumes.
