HC Deb 25 February 1976 vol 906 c260W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether she has any evidence that the number and cost of prescriptions tends to be heavier in those parts of the country where the majority of doctors have large lists of patients.

Dr. Owen

Such evidence as is available does not show that prescribing costs are heavier where doctors have large lists of patients.
