HC Deb 24 June 1968 vol 767 c21W
Mr. William Price

asked the Minister of Health how much his Department is spending on advertising the prescription charge scheme; and in what national newspapers space is being taken.

Mr. K. Robinson

The cost of the recent newspaper advertisements, which were inserted in all the national daily newspapers except theFinancial Times and the Morning Star, in the national Sunday newspapers and in various provincial newspapers, was £62,240. This is in addition to the cost of explanatory leaflets and notices, for which no separate figure is available.
