HC Deb 08 December 1969 vol 793 c8W
54. Dr. Winstanley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what instrutions have been issued to dispensing chemists with regard to the procedure to be adopted in the event of National Health Service prescriptions being presented by persons unable to pay the prescription charge at the time of presentation of the prescription form.

Dr. John Dunwoody

Chemists are aware that people who have difficulty in meeting the charges for financial reasons should apply to my Department's local office.
