Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what estimate he has made of the number of additional staff he will need in his Department to deal with the legal aspects arising from illegal claims for exemption from prescription charges.

Mr. Ennals

We do not expect any additional staff to be required for this purpose.

Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will arrange for guidance to be given to dispensing chemists on the details of prescription charge exemptions and communication of entitlements to those asking for medicines on E.C.10 forms.

Chemists have been given details of the arrangements and explanatory notices for display.
