HC Deb 21 June 1973 vol 858 c184W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, where a prescription contains two complementary ingredients, for example, capsules supplemented by an inhaler, he will make only one 20p charge to give equity with the position of one charge for medication which includes two ingredients in one tablet or one bottle.

Sir K. Joseph

No. The basis of prescription charges is the individual item.
