HC Deb 30 June 1969 vol 786 cc6-7W
55. Mr. Fortescue

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he is taking to find a formula acceptable to both the pharmaceutical and the medical profession relating to the dispensing of prescriptions in rural areas.

Mr. Crossman

I have already indicated that I should be prepared to reopen discussions on any alternative proposals which offer some prospect of agreement being reached with both professions.
