HC Deb 07 February 1978 vol 943 c529W
35. Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has any plans to alter the prescription charge or other medical charges under the National Health Service.

Mr. Moyle:

It is the intention of the Government to phase out prescription charges. Other medical charges under the National Health Service are reviewed periodically in the light of prevailing costs and other circumstances.
