HC Deb 28 July 1977 vol 936 cc498-9W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has any plans to change the categories of people at present exempt from paying prescription charges.

Mr. Moyle

We have at present no plans to alter the categories of exemption. It remains our intention to consider further steps in the progressive abolition of prescription charges when the resources available to the Health Service permit.
