HC Deb 24 February 1976 vol 906 cc175-6W
60. Dr. Boyson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services under whose instructions obscene and pornographic materal is used in National Health Service hospitals.

Dr. Owen

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Newbury (Mr. McNair-Wilson) on 18th February.—[Vol. 905, c.740–1.] Doctors are not instructed on the precise treatment to be given or not to be given to individual patients. This is a matter for their clinical judgment.
