HC Deb 20 February 1967 vol 741 c212W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Minister of Health what was the cost last year to the National Health Service of drugs on the proscribed list, obtained by doctor's prescription for registered addicts.

Mr. K. Robinson

No such information is available, as there is no registration of addicts and prescriptions for addicts are not readily distinguishable from those for other patients.
