§ Mr. Hawkinsasked the Minister of Health what was the average cost of drugs prescribed per person on the prescribing list of general medical practitioners for the years 1963, 1964, 1965 and 1966.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe estimated average total cost per person was:
s. d. 1963 41 6 1964 45 3 1965 55 2 1966 (provisional) 60 0 These figures are inflated to a small extent because it is not possible to exclude the cost of prescriptions dispensed by chemists for patients other than those on prescribing lists.
