HC Deb 03 April 1973 vol 854 cc39-40W
35. Mr. Luce

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will exempt from prescription charges all those suffering from chronic bronchial asthma.

Mr. Alison

No. Extension of the list of specified medical conditions qualifying for exemption from prescription charges has been discussed with the British Medical Association twice during the past two years, and we are satisfied that no useful purpose would be served by raising the matter again.
