HC Deb 12 March 1968 vol 760 c253W
72. Mr. Will Griffiths

asked the Minister of Health whether he is now able to provide a close estimate of the amount to be saved by the Exchequer arising from the proposed prescription charges, taking account of those whom it is proposed to exempt from the charges.

Mr. K. Robinson

I have nothing to add to the statement by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 16th January.—[Vol. 756, c. 1577.]

73. Mr. Will Griffiths

asked the Minister of Health which organisations he has consulted in determining which people will be exempted from prescription charges.

Mr. K. Robinson

I have already had consultations with the medical and pharmaceutical professions about the arrangements for giving effect to the Government's intentions as to the categories to be exempted. Consultations with other interests will take place as necessary.
