§ Mr. David Watkinsasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the cost of arranging and holding the hearing at Fleet, Hampshire, on 22nd February, 1972, to decide on the reference made by him of the decision of the Durham Local Medical Committee to uphold the prescription of Alphosyl shampoo for a patient by a doctor in County Durham.
§ Mr. AlisonThe hearing at Fleet was an oral hearing involving other cases. The Durham case was included only because it was a case in which the appellant did not wish to make oral representations, and the extra cost was therefore minimal.
