HC Deb 14 April 1975 vol 890 cc3-4W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his estimate of the annual increase in remuneration of the average general practitioner following the introduction of freely prescribed contraceptives.

Mr. William Ross

The agreement reached with representatives of general practitioners regarding the provision by them of contraceptive services under the National Health Service was reported to the Doctors' and Dentists' Review Body. Its report relating to the period from 1st April 1975 has not yet been published and it would be premature for me to make an estimate of the kind sought.
