HC Deb 15 March 1973 vol 852 cc400-1W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people have committed suicide when doctors have withdrawn the supply of amphetamines in cases similar to that contained in the information of two such deaths sent to him by the hon. Member for Willesden, West; and if he will now take steps to confine the prescription of amphetamines on EC10 to hospitals.

Mr. Alison

I regret that this information is not available.

No, I am not satisfied that this would be in the best interests of the patients concerned.
