HC Deb 25 February 1980 vol 979 c465W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if it is the Government's intention to allow qualified and specially trained nurses to run family planning clinics as recommended in 1976 by the joint working party chaired by Baroness Robson.

Sir George Young

We have not yet reached a final decision on the recommendations of the working group on oral contraceptives; it will be necessary to consult the professions concerned; and we have no plans at present to extend the arrangements for prescribing oral contraceptives.
