HC Deb 30 June 1969 vol 786 cc12-3W
64. Mr. Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how much it is costing annually to send his team of regional medical officers to persuade general practitioners not to prescribe proprietary medicines where equivalent generic drugs are available.

Mr. Crossman

Information for an estimate is not available, since I have no separate assessment of the time spent on this by regional medical officers during their visits to general practitioners.
