HC Deb 07 May 1968 vol 764 c70W
Mr. Malcolm MacMillan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make arrangements to ensure that people who have to pay bus, taxi or ferry charges when collecting prescriptions at distant dispensaries are fully reimbursed.

Mr. Ross

No. Provision for traveling expenses under the National Health Service has never covered the cost of journeys to family doctors or to chemists, and I am not contemplating any change in this respect.
