§ Mrs. Faithasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what progress has been made on the establishment and composition of the review panel for pharmacy proposed by the Frank report in October 1979.
Dr. YaughanIn my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Melton (Mr. Latham) on 1 July—[Vol. 987, c.484]—I reported the agreement which had been reached with the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee to set up an independent pharmacists review panel, and the terms of reference which had been agreed for the panel. Consultations with the committee about the composition of the panel have since been proceeding, and I hope to be able to make an announcement shortly.
