§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the Minister of Health whether, in seeking to reduce unnecessary expenditure on the prescription of drugs, he will investigate the reasons for regional differences in the average cost of prescriptions.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonSeveral studies have been made to try to identify the causes of these differences, but with little success. An investigation based on an approach not previously tried is at present in progress, but it is too soon to say how productive it will be.
